The woman was found by a passing ambulance at 7pm. – They came across a lady who was lifeless in the ditch, says Stian Aalberg, head of operations in Trøndelag police district. The woman was taken to hospital in Namsos. The area where it was found is central to the city. – We want tips from the public. It doesn’t have to be big things that are observed. Where we are now in the investigation, small things can also mean a lot, to find out what has happened, says service unit leader for the police in Namdal, Svenn Ingar Viken. Working from several hypotheses The police announced the case on Twitter at 9.27pm on Sunday after they had arrived at the discovery site and started tracing and forensic investigations. A large tarpaulin had been laid over the discovery site when news’s reporter got there. Crime scene technicians have examined the city overnight until Monday.

Gradually, the theory that she had been hit was strengthened: – She was found in a wall ditch and it is natural to believe that a vehicle may have been involved. It is one of the hypotheses we are investigating to get clarity on what has happened, said Aalberg. They asked one after the other that the driver of the vehicle that had hit the woman should come forward. On Monday morning, they still hadn’t made contact with any drivers. – It is quite possible that we were too aggressive about the fact that this could be a traffic accident. Now we are looking at other possible courses of events, says Viken. Not life-threatening It was clear that the woman was badly injured, but that it should not be life-threatening. Forensic investigations of the crime have been carried out, and inquiries have been made on Sunday and the night to Monday. Inquiries have been made in the area where the woman was found.

The woman has not yet been interviewed, but the police hope to make it happen. – She has not been questioned beforehand, says Viken. Know who she is The woman was not contactable when she was found. She also did not have any identity papers on her, but the police think based on descriptions they know who she is. The woman lives in Namsos. Relatives are contacted. – We have received a good deal of information via polls and questioning of witnesses, says Viken. – Are the woman’s injuries compatible with her being hit and run? – There is something that we must try to find an answer to. We must investigate whether the woman’s injuries are compatible with what emerges from the technical examinations and information from witnesses. We need to collate information, says Viken. Service unit leader for the police in Namdal, Svenn Ingar Viken, says the police are now gathering information to get a better picture of what may have happened to the woman.

This applies to the area Stormovegen – Gullvikvegen. Especially between 5pm and 7pm on Sunday. – We want to get in touch with people who may have relevant information. Especially about abnormal activity in the local environment. There doesn’t need to be a lot of information, says Viken. He reminds us of the police’s tipline: 73 48 94 00 Viken says the police are taking the case seriously. – We are looking at it seriously because we do not know what has happened.
