– It was very, very difficult to go into the store today. Hege Moen Andersen, manager of the sports shop at Kirkenær in Grue, feels bad feelings after the Grue murder. Before her, Aina Hynne (75), who ran the shop for several years, was killed. Moen Andersen took over the sports business from her two and a half years ago. Hynne has been a figurehead for the village, explains Moen Andersen, and her murder affects the entire local community. – I think everyone thinks this is absolutely terrible, and that it is completely incomprehensible that it has happened, she says. On Monday, several people visited the shop with flowers and lit candles. – We have been to the shop here and talked about Aina. All the good she has done and that it will be strange, says Moen Andersen. MURDERED: Aina Hynne was found murdered in Grue. She worked in a sports shop for several years.

Nor has she seen obstacles in things, says Moen Andersen. She has also been a good resource for the store, and has stood up when they have needed it, she explains. – So I know that everyone who talks about Aina only says good things. There were an incredible number of people who knew Aina and knew who she was, especially because she ran a sports shop in the city centre, explains Moen Andersen. – So there are many affected in this case here, who think this is absolutely cruel, she says.
