Attorney General J\u00f8rn Sigurd Maurud said this at Friday&#8217;s press conference.  He also said that it looks like Andersen has had a more central role than he has previously explained.  &#8211; Andersen&#8217;s explanation suffers, in my opinion, from several key points of weakness, not least due to a lack of consistency with other information in the case, says attorney general J\u00f8rn Sigurd Maurud.  &#8211; I cannot go into all the details of this, but it is of significant importance that the DNA evidence that is now available points in the direction of Andersen having a different and more central role than he has previously explained, especially when it comes to the sexual abuse to which both girls were subjected.  And as mentioned, his explanation is difficult to reconcile with the teledata evidence &#8211; Overall, Andersen&#8217;s explanation is characterized by inaccuracies and a lack of credibility to such an extent that it can hardly be given weight in Kristiansen&#8217;s disfavour, says Maurud.  Taking note of the decision, Jan Helge Andersen&#8217;s defense attorney Svein Holden has the following comment on the Attorney General&#8217;s decision: Defense attorney Svein Holden.

Will acquit Kristiansen Viggo Kristiansen was sentenced to 21 years in prison for the murder and sexual assault of Stine Sofie S\u00f8rstr\u00f8nen (8) and Lena Sl\u00f8gedal Paulsen (10) in Baneheia in the year 2000. On Friday it became clear that the Attorney General will ask the Court of Appeal to acquit Viggo Kristiansen .  Jan Helge Andersen was sentenced to 19 years in prison for the murder of Stine Sofie and complicity in the sexual abuse of both.  Andersen charged During the press conference, Maurud was asked what this means for the case against Jan Helge Andersen, who today has the status of being charged with the murder of Lena Sl\u00f8gedal Paulsen (10) &#8211; We will do everything in our power to also get to the bottom of it in that matter.  My message to the next of kin and survivors is that I understand very well the strain they are exposed to, and that they are now left with questions they cannot get answers to, said Maurud.  He says the investigation into Andersen has not ended, but that he does not want to go into details about this now.  Jan Helge Andersen pictured on his way to interrogation this summer.  Photo: Runar Henriksen J\u00f8rstad Believes Andersen has not explained himself correctly The Attorney General says that the DNA evidence, the teledata evidence and Andersen&#8217;s explanation have been central to his assessment.  &#8211; It is only Andersen&#8217;s explanation that substantiates that Kristiansen is guilty.  That explanation cannot therefore be given weight.  The other evidence points to Kristiansen&#8217;s not being guilty, says Maurud.  The Attorney General says teledata matches Viggo Kristiansen&#8217;s version, and not Jan Helge Andersen&#8217;s.  (more on this further down in the case).  &#8211; The phone data is not compatible with Andersen&#8217;s version of what happened.  In my assessment, Andersen&#8217;s explanation suffers from many weaknesses, says Maurud.  He goes to great lengths to reject Jan Helge Andersen&#8217;s explanation.  &#8211; Overall, Andersen&#8217;s explanation is characterized by inaccuracies and a lack of credibility to such an extent that, in my opinion, it is difficult to place weight in Kristiansen&#8217;s disfavour.
