– The defendant made a secret room in his boathouse, explained Kristin Løland in the Haugaland and Sunnhordland district court on Tuesday. She is a forensic technician in the Sør-West police district and has been working with the Birgitte Tengs case since autumn 2021. CRIMINAL TECHNICIAN: Kristin Løland in the Sør-Vest police district has been working on the case since the fall of 2021.

The room was found during a search during the latest phase of the investigation. But it was completely empty. In the search for any other secret rooms, Kripos’ 3D group was connected last autumn to scan the detached house, garage and boathouse of the 52-year-old, as well as his childhood home. NAUSTET: During a search, the police found a secret room here.

The wall they responded to was on the third floor of the detached house. The police wanted to see more and therefore went in and drilled holes. With a peephole camera, they got a good overview of what was inside the wall. But the police only found studwork and insulation. Discovered that someone had been in the house The secret investigation into the defendant began in March 2019 after the police received the report which showed that DNA from Tengs’ tights could be linked to the 52-year-old. The DNA found on the pantyhose is the police’s most important evidence in the trial, which will be held in Haugaland and Sunnhordland District Court until Christmas. On several occasions, the police entered the defendant’s house, among other things, to gain access to the contents of a PC. On one of these occasions, a lock knob on an internal door was set in the wrong position. This made the 52-year-old suspect that someone had been inside his house. He then installed camera surveillance on his house. In his explanation almost two weeks ago, he said that he suspected that it was writer and journalist Bjørn Olav Jahr who had been inside.
