– They asked me very digging and directed questions for me to give the last sentence. So I don’t feel like it’s my own words. That’s what his son Martin Ingebrigtsen said when he explained himself in court. He had previously had the status of offended in the criminal case against Gjert Ingebrigtsen, but has chosen to defend the danger of his siblings’ claims. Martin Ingebrigtsen had interrogated an episode where the father must have taken him in his arm and sent him to the room. This part of the interrogation was read in court. – It hurt, and it is not inconceivable that it became a brand. But I feel that the interrogation was very so that they were looking for such a sentence. They tried to make me comment on these things, Martin Ingebrigtsen said in court. Martin Ingebrigtsen testified on day 13 of until now 21 days in the trial in Sandnes. Photo: Annika Burder / NTB He is not the only one who has criticized the interrogations from the witness chair. This is something Gjert Ingebrigtsen’s defender, John Christian Elden, has noticed. – We have to come back to the importance of this in the procedures for the week, but it is always unfortunate if the police only follow a predetermined hypothesis instead of listening to what is actually said. It can provide an incorrect basis for taking out a charges, he says. John Christian Elden is a defender for Gjert Ingebrigtsen. Photo: Ksenia Novikova / news – Worded in the mouth. The seven -child father is charged with abuse in close relationships. He rejects criminal charges. This week, the parties finished presenting the evidence in the case. The evidence has largely consisted of the diplomas of 48 people with different degrees of proximity to the family. During the many weeks in court, some of them have criticized the police interrogations conducted in the case, and everything from governing questions and misrepresentation has become the subject in court. Here are some examples: Under his testimony, Filip Ingebrigtsen told about a push he should have been exposed to by his father. The minutes of the interrogation stated that he had first said that he pushed was in his chest, before this had been corrected to the face. Filip Ingebrigtsen was asked why this had been corrected. The middle runner had said that there was a mistake in the minutes, and that he had always said that the blizzard was in the face. Filip Ingebrigtsen with his brother and son -in -law in court. Photo: Ole Andreas Bø / news Parts of the criticism from the fourth oldest Ingebrigtsen brother are already reproduced earlier in this case, but he also said he was not made aware of the extent to which he could make corrections and corrections in the interrogation report. – I have not been told that I can do anything about what they write. I knew I could make objections to big mistakes, but I didn’t know how possible it was, he said. She said she doesn’t think she would use the word “offended” in interrogation. It’s a word she never used, she said in court. Family friend and training assistant Svein Hagen During Hage’s explanation, the prosecutor asked about statements he had made in interrogation. Hagen had then said that Jakob Ingebrigtsen had gradually begun to go more into himself. The defenders then asked that the audio recording from the interrogation with the garden be played by the court. They believed the conditions surrounding this sentence was not included in the protocol. Right in advance of this statement, Hagen had talked about quarrels both between Jakob and big brother Henrik Ingebrigtsen, and arguing between Gjert Ingebrigtsen and the brothers. A training friend of the daughter during the explanation of a training friend of her daughter was read from her interrogation with the police. Here she should have called Gjert Ingebrigtsen “condescending”. The training friend doubted that she had used this word. At the request of the Armed Forces, parts of a interrogation were again played. There it emerged that the word had been used in a question from the police service person who interrogated her. She had responded to the question. Assistant Attorney Mette Yvonne Larsen discuss with Elden in court.

Larsen thought the playback showed that the police had not put words in the mouth of the training friend. The fire disagreed. “I will claim that the police have put many words in her mouth here,” he said in court. – As in all cases that the police dealt with the accused seven -child father, the police also fired against the police in his explanation, and accused them of leaks for the media and prejudice. – I am deeply shocked and disappointed with the police in this case. I am met with prejudice and a preconceived attitude. They are not interested in what I have to tell, he said during his testimony. Facing news, the police rejected these charges. news has submitted the criticism of the witnesses of State Attorney Angjerd Kvernenes, who is the prosecutor in the case, Hans Christian Hetland, who is investigative leader on the case, and police inspector Terese Braut Våge. – The investigative work, and the methods and procedures used in questioning, are made in this case as in all cases that the police handle, says Kvernenes. She points out that the interrogations are recorded on sound, and sometimes also on video. Anyone who is being questioned will be read through the summary afterwards, and this section is also recorded. – It’s not a dialogue print, but a summary. In the reading, you are made aware that you should read it thoroughly, and that you can make corrections, additions and changes. If there are misunderstandings and clarifications, it is important that it is reported back to the police, says Kvernenes. State Attorney Angjerd Kvernenes would not comment on the witness statements in court. Photo: Eirik Pessl-Kleiven / news-Witnesses have said that they have not been sufficiently informed that one can correct the reading? – I will not comment on what the witness has explained, she replies. – Are you surprised that there are several who have addressed this as an issue? – I do not feel that many people have addressed this as an issue. Investigating director Hans Christian Hetland says the following about the precision level in the minutes: – They are a resume of an interrogation that can last for several hours. It is a resume of what is important to the matter, but it is recorded in sound and picture. If there are questions or disagreements about what came out and how the question was asked, then it is possible to control it. Hans Christian Hetland is the investigative leader in the police in the case. Photo: Syed Ali Shahbaz Akhtar / news – So according to your knowledge, so have all witnesses who have been questioned in this case have been read through and approved their interrogation? – Yes, he replies. Police Inspector Terese Braut Våge adds that the police have not had the opportunity to check the examples news shows. – On a general basis, we can state that the purpose of a reading is to check that what one said in the interrogation is reproduced in the resume, she elaborates. And emphasizes that you have the opportunity to make additions and corrections. – The recording of the interrogation is the evidence, and a resume should contain what is relevant to the case, and nothing beyond that. Thus, a resume is not a verbatim, says Braut Våge. Critical report The police have previously been criticized for the interrogation methodology in abuse cases. This was stated in the report from Rogaland State Attorney’s Office after supervision at the South West Police District in 2022. “Through discussions with relevant personnel, serious concerns have been revealed about how precisely the questioning competence is safeguarded and further developed, especially in this case,” the report states. news has previously mentioned the report, and that there has been concern about the resource situation related to investigators in these types of cases. The following year, a new supervision was made by the police focusing on the §282 cases. Even then, the interrogation competence became the theme. “There is reason concerns about the quality of interrogation in the initial phase in the family violence cases,” it was then said. This was especially true of the interrogations of the offender. “Almost none of the interrogations of the offended contain confrontation of key information from the investigation, and a relatively small number of offenders are asked for controllable information/evidence,” it said. These deficiencies did not find the state attorneys in the interrogations of suspects. The same report also states that it is consistently too poor interrogation quality, which means that interrogations must be done again. The police have previously commented on the criticism of the State Attorneys and pointed out that several improvement measures have been taken. – We are working on several specific measures, including we are among a interrogation project, to ensure better quality of interrogation in the cases. These are difficult issues to investigate. Often the criminal relationship is far back in time, and they often include more offenders. Therefore, it is a great advantage that investigators have good experience and understanding of the case, was the statement from Police Inspector Pål Jæger-Pedersen. Published 09.05.2025, at. 10.26
