Just hours after Jonas Henriksen was found dead, the police searched the home of one of the men who is now charged with the murder. Henning Klauseie, police prosecutor in the Innlandet police district, confirms this to news. The police were alerted to an incident in the center of Rena at 9 p.m. Some pedestrians had reacted to a car running into them in the center of Rena. Then the 28-year-old, now accused, is said to have threatened them. – The pedestrian had reacted with a slightly offensive body language towards the car, and then a confrontation had arisen between the pedestrian and the motorist, says Klauseie to news. Klauseie says the car had left the scene when the police arrived. The victims explained who they believed had threatened them. The man who was named is the same one who is now charged with murder. Jonas Aarseth Henriksen was found dead at a cabin in Nes in Ådal on 17 August. It was initially described as a suspicious death, but later proved to be a murder.

We carried out a search without finding anything that could be linked to this confrontation in the center of Rena, says Klauseie. news has received information that weapons were allegedly threatened at the incident in the center of Rena, but the police will not confirm this. – We have received some information that there has been an object, but we have outstanding interrogations here, and do not want to influence witnesses, says Klauseie. CONFIRM INVESTIGATION 17 AUGUST: Henning Klauseie, police attorney in Innlandet police district. Photo: Ola Bjørlo Strande / news He says the 28-year-old had been annoyed that the police were there, but that he did nothing to disturb the police’s work. – What do you think that this is the person who was charged with murder four weeks later? – This is information that the police patrol did not have when they searched there. So it becomes a form of hindsight. The patrol did what they had to based on the threat episode. That was who they acted on, he replies.

Arrested The 28-year-old was arrested in Rena on Thursday last week, on the day four weeks after the murder. According to what news is informed, the police had been following him for several days before the arrest. – Our criminal case was opened on the night of 18 August. And it is in the time after that that it was possible for other police districts to see that we had this person involved in a case with us, says Klauseie. – But one of the people who is now charged with murder had a visit from the police on the same day as the murder? – The way it is described, there is a closeness in time here, but it was unknown to the police that something had happened in the South-East involving him, answers Klauseie. The man has always denied criminal guilt and has not wanted to be questioned by the police. Last week, he was remanded in custody for four weeks with a letter and visiting ban. news has been in contact with Advokatkontoret Elden and the man’s defenders. They have not responded to our inquiries. Police inspector Odd Egil Kostveit says the threat incident at Rena is something they are investigating against the murder case. – That incident is initially investigated by the Innlandet police district, where that incident happened. We have good cooperation with Innlandet, and of course see it as a relevant incident in relation to the person charged, says Kostveit to news. The last known sign of life from Jonas Henriksen is supposed to be when he sent a map section as a picture to some colleagues just before nine o’clock in the morning. In the afternoon they found him dead in his car at Nes in Ådal.
