A 62-year-old man was found seriously injured outside his own home in Tromsø on Friday night. According to the police, life-saving first aid was given, but he was declared dead on the spot after a short time by a doctor. The deceased’s 26-year-old son was not questioned until Monday due to his mental health condition. To VG, the accused’s defender says that he does not admit guilt. – He has gone into what he believes has been an act of self-defense, says defender Ken Olav Warth to VG. Warth tells news that the accused in an interrogation has told about a confrontation in a residence. – He has explained to the police the actions that took place there and he describes the situation as dramatic for his part. He does not admit guilt. – He was composed and calm during questioning yesterday. I have not spoken to him today. There is no new information from the hospital that there is a change in his situation, the defender says. According to the defense counsel, experts have been appointed to carry out a full investigation of the accused, writes VG. The deceased’s 26-year-old son was arrested without drama outside the house. The police have seized a knife that they believe the man used during the act. Neighbors contacted the police after hearing a loud quarrel. – There are also witnesses who have seen at least parts of the act from their addresses, police lawyer Lisa-Mari Ellingsen told news this weekend. The accused man has agreed to custody for four weeks with a letter and visit ban, two of them in complete isolation.
