On 24 June this year, two people were remanded in custody for four weeks, because the police believe they must have planned to kill someone. It is stated in a prison sentence from the Frostating Court of Appeal. A few days later, a third person was also seen in custody in the same case. – I can confirm that three people have been charged and remanded in custody for conspiracy to commit murder, says police lawyer Julie Ulstein. She says this is a serious matter, and that conspiracy to murder has a penalty of 10 years. Furthermore, the police will not comment on how they discovered what these three were planning. Suspect in baby death This prison has a connection with another serious case. It was in August last year that a pair of parents from Sunnmøre were arrested, because the police suspected that they had something to do with their child’s death. Both were subsequently charged with murder, or complicity in murder. Both mother and father were later released from custody, while the police continue to investigate the case. It is now the mother in this case who is accused of having planned to kill the father. – I have no comment, says the woman’s lawyer, Axel Lange. The defense attorney for the man who is accused of murdering his own baby, Sjur Engelsen Lange, says the man is shocked that someone has planned to kill him. – He is shocked, and cannot understand why this has happened, he says. Ulstein says they do not know how developments in the case will affect the further investigation. – It is too early to say anything about it, we are still early in the investigation of the case, she says. Taken by the police Mother, who is in her 30s, was arrested by the police last week, together with a man. The police believe the two must have planned to kill the father of the dead child. This must have happened a week after the police carried out a reconstruction with the parties involved. There they selected a central period of time to go through what must have happened when the baby died. Here, both mother and father were present, each in turn. Both the mother of the baby, and the man who is charged with her, have now been remanded in custody for four weeks. The man tried to appeal the detention, but it was rejected by the Court of Appeal. Dagfinn Tynes, is the man’s defender. He states that the client takes this very seriously. – He does not understand the charges, and expects that further investigation will clarify the matter for him, says Tynes. Originally, what was in the court decision was not allowed to be referred to in the media. The Court of Appeal has now lifted this ban following a complaint from news. Both parents plead not guilty in the case where they are charged with murder, or complicity in murder.
