Police: Relevant to check health info

On the night before Wednesday last week, a married couple in their 40s were found dead at Kolbotn in Nordre Follo. The police have charged the deceased with murder on his wife, and they suspect that he has since taken his own life.

It has previously been revealed that the man was a police officer.

Police attorney Nina Marthinsen does not want to comment on Thursday on what the police know about the course of events.

– The investigation continues with, among other things, the completion of investigations at the scene. Ongoing assessments are made as to whether further interrogations should be carried out, she tells Dagbladet.

– Goes wide

Marthinsen will not answer whether police colleagues of the man have been summoned for questioning.

– Who we have questioned is not something we comment on beyond the fact that the police are investigating the case broadly.

She also will not comment on specific investigative steps related to the man’s mental health.

– The police always go broad, and health information is something that is relevant to obtain. We have no further comment on this.

Health information is confidential information that the police do not comment on, she says.

The deceased have not been reported to the police before, the police attorney states. The police have also not had any calls to the home in question.

Examining knife

Police have seized a knife, which they suspect was used during the murder.

– The case has not yet been fully investigated, including awaiting answers to various technical investigations related to the knife that has been seized.

The couple has minor children who are cared for by close family. Dagbladet has been in contact with the children’s assistance lawyer Marit Falkanger, who has been made aware of the coverage in this case.
