Now Høiby is speaking to news: “Last weekend something happened that should never have happened. I committed bodily harm and destroyed objects in an apartment in the intoxication of alcohol and cocaine after an argument. I have several mental disorders which mean that throughout my upbringing and adult life, I have had, and still have, challenges. I have struggled with substance abuse for a long time, something I have been in treatment for in the past. I will now resume this treatment and take it very seriously.” “The drug use and my diagnoses do not excuse what happened in the apartment at Frogner on the night of Sunday last weekend. I want to be responsible for what I have done, and will explain myself truthfully to the police”. He wrote that to news, via his defender Øyvind Bratlien.

She deserved neither what happened that night, nor the extreme pressure from both the Norwegian and foreign press afterwards. Being pursued by photographers and journalists at a time like this I know has been tough to stand in”. “I also want to apologize to my family. I know that my actions have greatly rubbed off on you. “So to you my love, I’m sorry. This should never have happened and I take full responsibility for my actions. -Marius Borg Høiby” news has asked for an interview, as well as asked to ask his own questions, but he has declined. – The pronunciation is his own words as desired.
