The two men who are charged with grievous bodily harm resulting in death as a result of custody are remanded in custody until otherwise decided by the prosecuting authority or the court. Both receive complete isolation and a media ban, as well as letters and a visit ban. The men are also accused of having removed evidence, specifically blood, from the place where the man in his 20s was stabbed in the center of Skien. The third man, who is in his 40s, is only charged with trying to hide evidence. – All cases went to closed court, as a result of the risk of evidence being lost, says prosecutor Kristin Bjelkemyr-Østvang. Interrogation and survey The police will not say anything about the relationship between the accused and the deceased. According to the local newspaper TA, the man in his 20s came running out into Lundeparken in front of Ibsenhuset on Saturday morning. He was bleeding from stab wounds and was picked up by ambulance and taken to hospital, where he later died of his injuries. The three accused men stayed in an apartment, which may be one of two possible crime scenes. The men were dressed in white suits to secure traces that could potentially be on them, before being driven to the arrest. Police have studied video images in the area, and have conducted a survey in the neighborhood. They are interested in tips if people have seen anything related to the case. On Sunday, the accused were also questioned. The deceased will be autopsied during Monday, according to police. Denies criminal guilt Carl Rieber-Mohn is the defender of one of the accused in the case. The man in his 40s is accused of having tried to hide evidence, and denies having anything to do with the stabbing. – My client claims that he was not present and therefore denies criminal guilt, said Rieber-Mohn, before the prison meeting in Telemark District Court. The other two accused also met at the same place, a man in his 20s and a man in his 30s. Chamkor Singh Nagra is the defender of the man in his 30s, who has not yet been questioned. But he also denies criminal guilt, according to the defender. The defender of the youngest of the three men, Andreas Nyhaug, says he can not comment on the case at this time. The police are requesting custody for four weeks. They also want isolation and a restraining order for the three men. Several have laid down flowers, pictures and lit candles to remember the deceased man.
