– As the case initially stood, the accused were not required to leave the scene. This is what police inspector Henning Klauseie said when asked by news about how almost two weeks passed from the man being found dead on 30 December until the roommate was charged with murder. – In all criminal cases, the first time after the incident is an important element for finding evidence. The police were on the scene shortly after the notification of the discovery of the dead man, and the patrol carried out a crime scene investigation that is as up-to-date as possible, writes Klauseie. After a man in his 70s was found dead, the police or AMK did not immediately suspect that the death was anything other than natural. As a result, the roommate was given permission to stay on the premises. Now she is in custody with a letter and visiting ban for four weeks to avoid tampering with evidence. The woman’s defender, Helge Hartz, writes in an SMS to news that they have appealed the detention.

Man found dead in holiday home at Flisa Police received notification of an unexpected death via AMK on 30 December. A cohabiting couple must have stayed alone in a cabin on Flisa and it was the woman in her 70s who reported the death. The dead man, also in his 70s, requested an autopsy. The woman in her 70s was arrested in the Oslo police district and charged with murdering her roommate. On Friday morning, the police in Innlandet issued a press release stating that they are investigating a suspicious death.

Show more According to the police, the case was categorized as a suspicious death and it was decided that the man should be autopsied because there was no explainable reason why he died. – It was only at the start of the autopsy that the coroners assumed that the death could be due to a criminal act. They contacted the police immediately, and the information provided indicated that the case had to be investigated as a murder, writes Klauseie to news on Monday. According to VG, a bullet was found in the dead man’s head. But the police will not confirm anything about what the coroners believe is the cause of death. – The reason for this is that we do not want to influence witnesses to explain themselves in any particular direction. Such an influence could be harmful to the investigation, writes Klauseie. The police say they have not found the murder weapon. Continuing the investigation Klauseie says that the investigation continues with both technical, digital and tactical tasks. – We work broadly with obtaining evidence that can shed light on what happened at the crime scene in the time before, during and after the incident, Klauseie states. Klauseie also states that the accused woman has explained herself, but is not linked to any criminal offence. The woman’s defense attorney has no comment on the case at the present time other than that they have appealed against the detention. They are now awaiting the Court of Appeal’s consideration of the case. – She has requested to be released and does not agree to detention, said defender Hartz to news on Friday. news has tried to get a comment from legal aid lawyer Bjørn Erik Pettersen without success.
