Høiby does not appeal the detention – news Norway – Overview of news from various parts of the country

On Wednesday, the Oslo district court decided that Marius Borg Høiby be detained for a week with a ban on letters and visits. It happened after he was charged with two rapes in a few days, in addition to a number of other matters. Høiby denies criminal guilt for the rapes, and also opposed imprisonment. Defense attorney Øyvind Bratlien said after the court hearing that the charges are “catastrophic misjudgments” on the part of the prosecutor. They are still not appealing the ruling, he says on Thursday to news. Photo: Ole Berg-Rusten / NTB – Høiby was partially upheld and all experience suggests that the court will not release at such an early stage of the investigation. A week was the most realistic thing to achieve now. Furthermore, he says that the Court of Appeal will not have time to come up with a new ruling before the end of the week. – Then there is little point in appealing. The police originally asked for two weeks’ imprisonment for Høiby, citing the risk of tampering with evidence. – We have uncovered one more rape last night and this morning. It was found in the investigative material, said police prosecutor Andreas Kruszewski on Wednesday. – Shows signs of extreme haste Bratlien reacts to the police presenting a new charge on the same day as the prison meeting. – The latest case bears the mark of extreme haste and a highly objectionable investigation, he says to news. – The police were afraid of not being successful in imprisonment. They were under pressure, and felt compelled to produce something more. Dagbladet has also mentioned the criticism from Bratlien. The lawyer says to the newspaper that the situation is “absolutely insane” for Høiby. – I hope it goes well. Crown Prince Haakon, who has been on a UN visit to Jamaica, said on Wednesday that the family has worked for Høiby to get more help: Closed court session Høiby was arrested on Monday evening, and spent two nights in detention before he was jailed. The new charges are added to previous charges for violence, damage and abuse in close relationships. In total, there are now six victims. The police asked for a closed court hearing without the press present. They were granted that – despite the fact that Høiby and his defender wanted the press present. The defender has also resorted to Instagram to express his displeasure. He believes the police give an unvarnished picture of the case. – They make an accusation that is easily perceived as truth, which becomes public. The defense attorney is bound by a duty of confidentiality and does not have an effective countermeasure, he wrote after the court hearing on Wednesday.
