– He has made very good progress in custody. Then it is only natural that he gets to try his hand on the outside, says Millehaugen’s lawyer, Morten Furuholmen. He refers to what exists of reports about Millehaugen from the detention period. The lawyer believes that there is no longer a qualified risk that his client will commit new criminal offenses and that he is no longer a danger to the public if he is released. – Then the conditions for detention are no longer present, says Furuholmen. In 2012, Stig Millehaugen was sentenced to the law’s strictest sentence of 21 years in custody and a ten-year minimum term for the murder of Young Guns leader Mohammed “Jeddi” Javed. He was found dead in a burnt-out car on Haugerud in Oslo on a January evening in 2009.

In March this year, Millehaugen had served the minimum term of ten years for the murder. Escaped this summer At the beginning of June this year, the police sounded the so-called national alarm. Stig Millehaugen did not return to Trondheim prison after a leave. In the days that followed, there was a large-scale police hunt. After a week on the run, the 53-year-old convicted of double murder was arrested in Østmarka in Oslo. The Directorate of Correctional Services said at the time that the escape could have consequences when assessing parole. Morten Furuholmen is Stig Millehaugen’s lawyer.

After the escape, Stig Millehaugen received a so-called waiver of prosecution, a kind of warning. He has not had leave since this summer.

But forensic psychiatrist Torgeir Husby and psychological specialist Atle Austad have been appointed as experts. They will examine Millehaugen to assess the extent to which he is suitable or fit to be out in civilian life. They give their advice to the court. Double murder convict Stig Millehaugen has been in prison virtually his entire adult life.Double murder convict Stig Millehaugen has been in prison virtually his entire adult life. If the court concludes with parole, it may happen during the next year. Furuholmen believes that his client then wants to adapt to a life as calm as possible outside the walls. – Without drama or that he has contact with bad people or seeks out the past. – That he can simply, as a well-grown man, spend a few years with a somewhat calm lifestyle and things a bit at a distance with family and close relationships, says Furuholmen. The lawyer also believes that Millehaugen wants to write a little. Escaped several times Stig Millehaugen has largely been in prison since 1988, his entire adult life. At the time, he was part of the notorious Tveita gang, which, among other things, engaged in “shock seizures”. In July 1992, he escaped from Berg district prison. In August of the same year, he robbed the Svartskog post office. Later he also robbed the Nesbru post office, where hostages were taken. Here Stig Millehaugen robs a bank in Oslo in 1991.

He shot and killed a prison guard. He then forced another officer to drive himself to Oslo. The next day he reported himself to the police. In August 1993, Millehaugen was sentenced to 17 years in prison for killing prison officer Jon Arild Martinsen and for the two robberies at Svartskog and Nesbru. In October 2000, Millehaugen ran away while on leave and eloped with his girlfriend. Eight months later, in June 2001, he was caught. It was the longest period Millehaugen has been at large since 1988. In 2003, Millehaugen was sentenced to one year in prison for possession of weapons during the period on the run. In the same case, he was acquitted of the robbery of the then Kreditkassen branch in Bogstadveien in Oslo. Due to fear of escape, Millehaugen served a long time alone in ward A in Ringerike prison, a so-called particularly high security regime (SHS).
