19 September 2023 at 16:40 VG: New evidence in the Orderud assassination attempt The police have received new DNA matches on pieces of tape. This is confirmed by State Attorney Sturla Henriksbø at the Oslo State Attorney’s Office to VG. For 25 years, the assassination attempt against Anne Orderud Paust in July 1998 has been a mystery. – The readmission commission has carried out a comprehensive review of the seizures in the case, and has had new DNA tests carried out on this material. The results are now in, and it turns out that Kristin Kirkemo’s DNA has been found on some pieces of tape that were used to attach a dynamite stick under Anne Orderud Paust’s car, says state attorney Sturla Henriksbø to VG. The public prosecutor believes that the DNA discovery strengthens the prosecution’s theory that Kristin Kirkemo was involved in the assassination attempt on Anne Orderud Paust. Kirkemo was prosecuted for the circumstances and was first convicted for this in the district court – but acquitted in the court of appeal. The following year, Anne Orderud Paust and her parents Kristian Magnus and Marie Orderud were shot and killed on the Orderud farm in Sørum in what was then Akershus.
