Last week, all the emergency services went to a house in Vestnes. A woman was dead inside the house, and a child was badly injured. A man in his 20s was arrested by the police, and later charged with aggravated assault resulting in death. The man was the son of the woman who died, and the brother of the child who was badly injured. It was Senait Zerom Weldetinsae (49) who was found dead in his home on Vestnes on 22 October 2024, the police informs on Thursday 31 October. Preliminary autopsy report An inquest is planned for the victim during the week. The police have received a preliminary autopsy report, but out of consideration for the investigation, it is too early to comment on the contents of the report. – Based on the investigation so far, the suspect is against the targeted force. It is too early to assess whether there is a basis for changing the charges, says prosecution officer and police lawyer Lena Katrin Romestrand at Møre og Romsdal police district. The mother died of her injuries after severe violence, while the brother was seriously injured.

The child has been questioned in an organized questioning at St. Olav’s hospital on Wednesday with the assistance of Kripos, according to the police. The police say the investigation is continuing in full and they are carrying out, among other things, interviews, technical examinations and review of data seizures. According to his defender, the accused man in his 20s is mentally ill, and lives in a 24-hour residence where he is supervised at any time. In the detention meeting last week, the police asked for four weeks in custody for the accused man. The court ruled that the man gets four weeks in custody, but he can sit in an institution instead of prison. Defense attorney Roy Peder Kulblik has questioned how the mentally ill man could visit his mother. The institution targeted will not comment on the case because it is an ongoing investigation, and refers to the police. Published 31.10.2024, at 10.50 Updated 31.10.2024, at 11.03
