A man in his 40s was acquitted of negligent murder of his own son (11) after a boat accident in Byfjorden in Bergen in 2022. Prosecutor Are Nygård Bergh will not appeal the sentence. He asked for a ten-month suspended sentence for the man. – I have considered this thoroughly and have now concluded that the verdict is accepted, he writes to news. The prosecution pointed out that the speed must be the reason why the boat capsized when it hit a wave. The three on board were then thrown out of the boat and ended up in the water. According to the indictment, the boat had a speed of up to 91.36 knots, which corresponds to 169.2 kilometers per hour. The judgment states that “the speed was not necessarily negligent in this place and with this boat”.
