He is a lawyer assisting the next of kin and the deceased, and says that it is a difficult situation for the next of kin. – I have not yet been given access to the documents and information from the police, so for now I cannot answer any questions about the investigation, says Amundsen. Appealing the remand The accused in the disappearance case is appealing the ruling on remand. This was stated by the man’s defender, Trond Pedersen Biti on Monday. – He completely distances himself from the charge, and clearly expresses that he has no involvement in the case. He cannot see that the police have any concrete evidence against him, says Pedersen Biti. The accused’s defender, Trond Pedersen Biti, says the charge comes as a shock to the client, and that the detention is a big burden.

He believes that the requirements for tampering with evidence are set too low – the police have the car in their possession, and Kripos has an overview of all computer matters. The entire area where the missing person was found is under police control, so he does not realize that he can destroy evidence in any way, if he is to be released now. Drone ban introduced On Tuesday, the police introduced a temporary drone ban in the area, in connection with crime scene work. – We do not want to have drones flying over us, and that we ourselves use drones in the area, so to prevent any problems a drone ban was put in place, says Mikkelsen Indbjør to news. The drone ban applies until Friday at 4 p.m. Police prosecutor Anja Mikkelsen Indbjør does not rule out that more people may be charged. Photo: Gunnar Sætra / news
