After a week on the run, Stig Millehaugen was arrested in Østmarka in Oslo on Wednesday. According to the police, he was taken without drama, and was driven to the arrest to get a health check. Police say they hope to have Millehaugen questioned on Wednesday night. In 2012, the 53-year-old was sentenced to the law’s most severe punishment of 21 years’ detention and a ten-year minimum sentence for murder. He has also previously been convicted of the murder of a prison officer after an escape attempt from prison. Østmarksetra is located about a mile from Oslo city center. The Prison and Probation Service will now decide where Millehaugen will serve further, but they do not know where it will be, says regional director Stig Storvik in region east to news. – There are two detention institutions in Norway, and they are Trondheim and Ila. We can not rule out that Ila may be relevant, but it is a decision that is made at the regional level, he says. Storvik says Millehaugen is entitled to its own scheme, and that only these two prisons can offer this. The final decision will be made in collaboration between them and the northern region, he says. Stig Millehaugen was arrested near Ulsrudvannet, which is a popular outdoor area in Oslo. Photo: Cicilie S. Andersen / news – Will not return to Trondheim Millehaugen zone at Trondheim prison when he did not show up after a leave. On June 1, the police went out with a search for the man. But prison leader Egil Gabrielsen in Trondheim prison tells news that he will hardly return there. – We have had a dialogue with the region and the Norwegian Prison and Probation Service. We have agreed that he will not return here, he says. Gabrielsen says there is a holistic assessment behind the decision that Millehaugen will not return to Trondheim. – There are several things, but first and foremost because he has been here for almost ten years. And it is not unusual for convicts who have such long sentences to change institutions. Since this has happened, it may make sense for him to continue with imprisonment in another city, he says. May be denied leave The Norwegian Prison and Probation Service also confirms to news that Millehaugen can be moved after he escaped from prison in Trondheim. – On a general basis, it is the case that when detainees are placed in prisons and then arrested, they are taken back to prison again. Then it is considered which prison we should place the convicted person in. This may be a different prison than the one he escaped from, says senior adviser Marianne Endresen in the directorate of news. She also says that escapes can have consequences when considering applications for probation and leave in the future. – There is no legal trial of the escapes, but it can have consequences when assessing probation. Escape can also lead to the delimitation of any future leave, she says. Hear the episode of Updated about Millehaugen.
