The police do not want to comment on what kind of relationship there is between Henriksen and the 32-year-old, but according to what news is informed, the two must have known each other. They should not have been friends, but had several mutual acquaintances in the Hønefoss area. The 32-year-old, who is now charged with murder or complicity in the murder of Jonas Aarseth Henriksen (30), has previously been convicted in several criminal cases. He had been summoned for witness questioning and was arrested at the police station. Police inspector Odd Egil Kostveit does not want to say whether the arrest came as a result of what was said in the interrogation, or whether the arrest was planned in advance. The 32-year-old who has been charged with a previous conviction was arrested during questioning, says police inspector Odd Skei Kostveit. They have now asked for four weeks in custody with a ban on letters and visits, a media ban and complete isolation. Apart from the fact that the police believe they had grounds to arrest, they do not want to give any further details about what they believe the man should have done. – He is known to us from the past, and has previously been convicted, says Kostveit to news. Already in his teens, the man was sentenced to community punishment for having balded someone. He was then a minor, but above the criminal minimum age. The following year he was convicted in two cases, one alone and one together with another. Also for violence. In 2010, the man was convicted of stealing a car and drug use. In 2012, the man was convicted of violence against a police officer, as well as violence against someone else. A 28-year-old and a 30-year-old have previously been charged with murder or complicity in the murder of Henriksen. – I do not wish to comment on the relationship between the accused. We are working to clarify their roles, says Kostveit to news. In contrast to the other two charged in the case, the 32-year-old is from Hønefoss. – The fact that it is someone from Hønefoss means that the whole thing comes a little closer to us, says Ivar Borgen to news. He is Jonas’s stepfather, and acts as the family’s spokesperson. Interest taken The arrested 32-year-old has had Andrea Wisløff appointed as defender. – He does not plead guilty to murder or complicity in murder. Beyond this, I do not wish to comment on the case, writes Wisløff in an SMS to news. According to news, the police took an early interest in the 32-year-old, who they arrested on Monday. In the time before the murder, Jonas Henriksen was exposed to several cases of vandalism and threats. At the end of July, “Tyster Jonas” was tagged in several places in Hønefoss. In connection with this act of vandalism, a car that the 32-year-old owns is said to have been seen by witnesses. The witnesses are said to have taken pictures of the car and given them to the police. Kostveit does not wish to confirm or deny this information, or whether the man has had the status of suspect or accused in any of the old cases. The police confirm to news that a spray can and gloves were secured at one of the places where it was sprayed. – It is true that it has been seized, but I cannot go into the results of the technical investigations, says Kostveit. The police are still working to clarify whether there may be a connection between the threats and the vandalism Jonas experienced, and the murder. Since the man has consented to remand, there will be no detention hearing. The court thus treats the police’s petition as a so-called office transaction.
