The accused is previously known to the police. – We are very much in the initial phase and mapping the course of events as far as we can tonight, says the police attorney. The police have carried out technical and tactical investigations at the crime scene. – As a matter of routine, we take round inquiries and collect all we can of technical evidence and witness statements now. Then it is natural to question the accused at some point, but it has not been carried out so far, says Hatlo. The woman will be sent for an autopsy today. Have made several seizures The police rule out the use of firearms, but say that a sharp object has been used against the woman. The police confirm that they have found several objects at the scene. – We had forensic technicians at the scene last night who took a number of seizures, without me being able to comment further, says Hatlo. It is too early to say whether it is the object that has been used, and what the motive for the murder is. – We are a few hours into an investigation that could explode, so we are cautious even though it looks pretty good, says Hatlo. The police say that there is no indication that more people are involved in the incident.
