The man, who is from the Hønefoss area, must have had debt to the “orderer” and was commissioned to lure Jonas Aarseth Henriksen forward. They met at a gas station on August 4, 2023, just over two weeks before the murder. Jonas recorded the conversation, and the police played parts of it in court. Jonas was frustrated with all the attacks he was exposed to. – You should have a pretty high hatred for some, if you do those things here. This is regular terror. If you have such a hate, come to the door and say what the thing is. This is anonymous. How fuck’s coward are you? said Jonas. Friend of the brother-in-law The formerly accused Hønefoss man previously worked with Jonas and is a childhood friend of Jonas’s brother-in-law, Mats Arne Pedersen. Jonas Henriksen was lured into Circle K in Jevnaker. Photo: Hans-Kristian Rangnes / news “The orderer” knew this and explained in court that he therefore called him to get him to lure Jonas forward. The man then contacted Jonas and they agreed to meet at Circle K in Jevnaker. The “assistant” has explained that the man received 10,000 in payment of the “orderer” to arrange the meeting. Can forgive the previously accused man in the conversation that he wanted to clean the air with Jonas because he was mad that he was accused of having something to do with the vandalism. Jonas said he no longer thought the 36-year-old had something to do with it. – I can forgive most things, that is. I don’t want to admit how much it goes to me, because then they win, if they hear about it, Henriksen said. – I just want them to give up, so I can have a safe place for the lady and me to live, and that I can work in peace. If the meeting failed, the “shooter” could not attach a tracking unit to Henriksen’s car. The “shooter” has explained in court that he did not succeed since there were many surveillance cameras at the gas station. They therefore decided to follow Jonas’ car instead. They had then called the “assistant” who would also help follow Jonas. They followed him until Hønefoss, where they lost him in traffic. Attorney Ole Magnus Strømmen represented the man until the case against him was closed on the position of the evidence. – I have no comment on the claims that have emerged during the trial. My client will comment on this meeting with Jonas in court, says Strømmen. Friend of the family that the formerly accused man is a person whom the sister and brother -in -law of Jonas acquaintances has been tough. – It is very special that someone you have told that the door is always open to, and who has been visiting and being on our daughter’s birthday, suddenly one of them, sister Ida has previously told news. – He has known about something. He had the opportunity to come to me or to Jonas. And that makes me pissed, Mats said. Since the charge he has not talked to the 36-year-old. – It’s somehow zero dignity to track with that person then. If you ask me, then you sink low, that is, Mats said.
