The Vollen case reopens – news Oslo and Viken – Local news, TV and radio

It writes the resumption commission in a press release. – The basis for the decision is that there is a new forensic psychiatric statement, which provides a reasonable possibility that the convicted person could have been acquitted, if it had been known to the court when the case was adjudicated, the reopening commission writes. Surprisingly Anna Kristin Gillebo Backlund (30) was killed while working in Asker in 2014. She was killed by a girl who was 15 years old at the time. Her brother, Amund Gillebo, says the family has known that it is possible the case will be resumed for a while now. – But when the request came, we were surprised. Then we had no idea about it and that some new expert assessments had been made, he says. The decision will be sent to the Supreme Court’s Appeals Committee, which will appoint a new Court of Appeal to hear the case. The decision was made following requests from both the convicted person and the Attorney General. It was VG who reported the case first.
