Boy under 18 indicted for attempted murder at Os in Bjørnafjorden – news Vestland

– My client does not plead guilty to attempted murder, says defense attorney Bertil Rønnestad to news. On Friday, the police announced that charges have been brought in the case where a teenage boy stabbed another boy in the center of Os in Bjørnafjorden, on Sunday 25 February this year. The defendant is said to have stabbed a boy, who was 15 years old at the time, with a knife several times. The victim suffered serious internal injuries. According to the prosecution, deaths were avoided because the defendant was interrupted at the moment of the crime. He was quickly treated by emergency medical staff at the scene, and then taken to hospital. – No surprise The defendant has previously pleaded not guilty to attempted murder during questioning with the police. It is by law, at the same time that he has pleaded guilty to some of the other items in the indictment, according to the defender. – The indictment does not come as a surprise, as it largely corresponds to previous charges, says Rønnestad, who does not wish to comment further on the case now. The stabbing took place at a bus terminal and a bank. Photo: Ragnar Tjøstheim / news Comprehensive indictment The indictment also involves violence and threats against the victim.
