It is Unni Byberg Malmin in the Sør-West police district who confirms this to the newspaper. – The Tina Jørgensen case has also been used as part of the basis for the police’s request for the use of covert investigation, which formally also means that he has the status of being charged in this case as well, she tells Dagbladet. The murder of Tina Jørgensen On 24 September 2000, 20-year-old Tina Jørgensen disappeared without a trace after spending the evening on the town with her boyfriend. A large-scale search operation was carried out in the Stavanger area. On 26 October 2000, the body of Tina Jørgensen was found by chance in a drainage basin in the car park at Bore church in Jæren. The autopsy showed that she was beaten to death. On 31 October 2001, Tina’s boyfriend and occasional partner was charged with the murder of the 20-year-old. He was released after being in custody for seven weeks. *23. In December 2002, he was verbally informed that the police dropped the charge against him. The formal letter with the message that the charge had been dropped did not come until April 2004. In February 2005, he received NOK 50,000 in restitution and NOK 138,500 in compensation for the financial loss he suffered as a result of the charge in Stavanger district court. The cases were dropped in 2003. *16. On September 2015, a 36-year-old man from Lyngdal was arrested and charged with murder or complicity in the murder of Tina Jørgensen. On 17 September 2015, three more men were arrested and charged in the case. On 9 October 2015, all four accused men were released. On 12 September 2016, the Attorney-General dropped the case against the four and justified the drop with “no criminal offence”. On 18 October 2016, the cold case unit in Kripos stated that they would look into the 16-year-old murder case. * On 23 September 2017, the book “When Tina was killed” was published. Author Erlend Frafjord writes, among other things, that the police in the investigation of the murder have been tipped off about a man who has been convicted of rape, and who has since been killed. On 26 April 2018, Kripos concluded that the case should be investigated further, but to a limited extent. 6 September 2018: Sørvest police district states that a group of investigators will look at the case again. The group has just started work. On 3 September 2021, the police state that a person is suspected of the murder of Tina Jørgensen. Last September, a man in his 50s was charged with the murder of Birgitte Tengs. He was also suspected of the murder of Tina Jørgensen. Now the police have also charged the man with this murder. The police have previously confirmed that an undercover investigation has been used against the accused man in his 50s. According to Malmin, the accused was informed about the covert investigation on 11 July this year. – It is important to clarify that the change of status in the Tina case is a consequence of the fact that he has been subject to coercive measures in the covert investigation. It is not because there is a new development in the ongoing investigation, says Malmin to Dagbladet. The murder of Birgitte Tengs Birgitte Tengs (17) was found murdered near her home in Karmøy on 6 May 1995. Two years later, Tengs’ then 19-year-old cousin was convicted of the murder of his cousin. The cousin appealed and was acquitted the following year in the Court of Appeal, but he was also sentenced to pay compensation to Tengs’ parents in a civil case, where other evidentiary requirements apply. The claim for compensation was later waived, but the judgment stands. The murder is still unsolved. In 2003, the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg sentenced the Norwegian state to pay compensation to the cousin because the compensation judgment went too far in assuming that the cousin was guilty. In 2015, new interest was created in the case both through a book publication and through VG’s podcast “Unsolved”. In January 2016, the Birgitte Tengs case became the first case taken up by the new cold case unit in Kripos. On Wednesday 1 September 2021, the police arrested a man in his 50s from Karmøy who was charged with the murder.
