12 July 2024 at 12:57 Aftenposten: Former Tengs accused demands 20 million in compensation Johny Vassbakk, who was acquitted in the Court of Appeal last year for the murder of 17-year-old Birgitte Tengs in May 1995, now demands 20 million kroner in compensation. This is reported by Aftenposten. Vassbakk was convicted of the murder in the district court, but appealed the case and won in the court of appeal. The intense media attention, the unjustified prosecution and loss of income are some of the reasons why this claim is raised, says defense attorney Stian Bråstein to news. – People have gone to great lengths to characterize him as a person. In practice, he is portrayed as a serial killer. It is a stigma of which he has become a part, and which we believe he will not completely get rid of either until the right perpetrators are caught, says Bråstein. Vassbakk has always denied having been present in the area on the night Tengs disappeared.
