Stig Millehaugen, convicted of double murder, appeared in Oslo district court today. In December last year, he asked for parole. This week the issue will be dealt with in court. – I don’t think there are any other remand prisoners who have worked so hard to change, says defense attorney Morten Furuholmen.

Then the police raised the national alarm and he was wanted internationally. After a week, he was arrested by the police in Østmarka. Millehaugen is currently serving time in Ila prison.

Furuholmen says that Millehaugen has developed in recent years and has worked closely with the staff in the correctional service. Among other things, he has had what are called reflective conversations for seven years, and had eight conversations with a psychologist. – Millehaugen has systematically worked with change measures over time, says the defender. Misleading everyone The public prosecutor will not release Millehaugen from prison. He points out that the conditions for parole are changes in the behavior of the convicted person. – Since 2012, there has been a positive development. Millehaugen has undergone reflective conversations. After ten years, he confesses to the premeditated murder of Javed, but the positive development is interrupted in the summer of 2022: – Then Millehaugen is granted leave, but does not show up after the leave. It is clear that this offense is part of the big picture, says State Attorney Jarland. Prosecutor Kristian Jarland together with defense attorney Morten Furuholmen.

He has committed two murders 17 years apart. He has repeatedly breached the terms of his leave. Stig Millehaugen will give his explanation on Monday and Tuesday. Photo: Hedda Kurseth Jarland points out that over longer periods Millehaugen shows a positive development, but that this does not mean that he cannot commit new criminal acts. – In my opinion, there is not a cloud in the sky, despite that, he leads everyone astray. Note that there is no relationship between the victim and Millehaugen. They are just random victims. Convicted of double murder Millehaugen has been sentenced to the law’s strictest punishment, 21 years’ detention, and has been called Norway’s most dangerous man. Such a sentence must protect society against new crimes by the convicted person. If one is to be acquitted of such a sentence, the court must assess it so that there is no danger of new criminal acts. Millehaugen has spent large parts of his life in prison after being convicted of car theft, burglary, armed robbery and murder. Photo: POLICE He was sentenced to 21 years in prison after the murder of Young-Guns leader Mohammad Javed in 2011. Javed was found dead in a burnt-out car in 2009. At that time, the minimum term was set at ten years for Millehaugen. He has previously been convicted of murdering a prison inmate after an attempt to escape from prison.
