– He has consented to the imprisonment meeting being conducted as office business, so then it is up to the district court to assess whether the conditions for imprisonment are present. This is what police prosecutor Tore Martin Søbak Gundersen tells news. In a press release, the police write that they have asked for four weeks in custody, two of which are with a ban on letters and visits. An assistance lawyer will be appointed by the district court. Gundersen does not want to say anything about the incident until the police have received the autopsy report and crime report. He confirms that the aim has been taken care of by health personnel up to now. – He has been transferred to the detention center now, and will probably be transferred to remand later, says Gundersen. The police have conducted interviews with employees at the hotel and this will continue until Monday. At the same time, technical investigations are carried out on the site. The police have not questioned the man. Relatives not notified It was late on Saturday that a woman was found dead in a hotel in Nord-Fron in Gudbrandsdalen. On the night of Sunday, the police reported that several seizures had been made, and said they had control of what they assume is the murder weapon. A man was quickly arrested and charged with murder. Both of them must have worked at the hotel. There should not have been witnesses to the incident, and there should not have been guests at the hotel when the woman was killed. Neither the woman nor the man are Norwegian citizens and have no local connection. In the press release on Monday, the police write that they are working to notify relatives. On Monday morning, Gundersen did not want to say anything more about the nationality of the two, except that they are not from Norway, and that they are from a European country. Gundersen also does not want to say anything about the relationship the two had. The police are currently not aware of whether there was a conflict between them prior to the incident. Kripos was already asked on Saturday to help the police in Inlandet with the case. They also help to notify the next of kin. In future, the police will also investigate whether the suspect has previously been punished in his home country. Consent to detention The accused man’s defender is Anders Gustav Bjørnsen. He tells NTB Monday morning that his client agrees to four weeks’ detention. – He is not particularly well, but speaks well for himself. The prison meeting proceeds as office business, said defense attorney Bjørnsen to NTB. Police prosecutor Hildegunn Tronsli confirmed that the man has consented to remand, but did not wish to go into details in the case out of consideration for the next of kin, who were not notified at the time. Defense attorney Bjørnsen also told NTB that the man has not yet been questioned in the case. – The reason is his condition and that it was a Sunday yesterday, but there is hope for a hearing in the next few days, he says to NTB. The motive for the murder is not known and Bjørnsen has not yet met the client physically. – It is in the cards that there will be a psychiatric examination, I think, says Bjørnsen, who confirms that the suspect is a relatively young man. Prosecutor Tronsli confirms that the accused must undergo a forensic psychiatric examination. The police will return to the cause of death when the preliminary autopsy report is ready. The police wrote in the press release on Monday that the subject of violent alarms is not relevant in this case.
