The last of the four was arrested on Wednesday afternoon, questioned at the police station and released. – One of them is charged with attempted murder, while the other three are charged with complicity in grievous bodily harm, says police attorney Torbjørg Ristesund. The defense attorney for the last accused boy, Stian Kristensen, states that he has explained his role and position regarding what has happened – But he has not formally been asked how he stands up to the charges, says the boy’s defense attorney Stian Kristensen. It is the police’s investigation that has led to new people being charged in this case, says police attorney Torbjørg Ristesund.

He was released last night, as there were no grounds to present him for detention. It was on Monday evening that the incident happened outside the offended boy’s home in Tasta. He was taken to the emergency room, and then admitted to Stavanger University Hospital. – According to the conditions, the boy is doing well, said the 16-year-old’s legal aid lawyer Elisabeth Fjeld yesterday. The 16-year-old who is charged with attempted murder pleads not guilty. Changed status from witness to accused The police have since yesterday carried out a number of investigative steps, including crime scene investigations, inquiries, seizures, questioning of victims, accused and witnesses. – The two who were yesterday charged with complicity in grievous bodily harm have been questioned at the police station in Stavanger last night. I do not want to go into what they have explained in questioning, says the police attorney. – How have you worked to find the new accused? – We have secured telephones and other media. Through that, and witness interviews, we have arrived at the new accused, says Ristesund. One of the 16-year-olds had the status of a witness in the case, but during questioning last night, the status was changed to a charge of complicity in grievous bodily harm.

The boy is also from Tasta, like the other 16-year-olds, and belongs to the same environment. He has been banned from contacting him after he was released last night. The same applies to the other accused. If they make contact with the victim, it is punishable. All have been released. – There was no basis for remanding any of them, says Ristesund.
