On Monday this week, the man was remanded in custody for four weeks, and the police interviewed him again on Thursday. – The man has given an explanation about what happened before, during and after the act. In the explanation, he links himself to the act of murder. That’s what the prosecutor in the case, police attorney Thomas Berg, in the Trøndelag police district says. Investigation ongoing In addition to a number of interviews with the couple’s circle of friends and other relevant people, the police have carried out extensive forensic investigations. They have made inquiries in the local area, reviewed electronic devices and other relevant investigative steps. – Even if the accused is linked to the act, there are still many investigative steps to be taken.
