It was on the morning of 2 June 2019 that two women were found on a gravel road at Snartemo.
Daisy Mai Tran was pronounced dead at the scene, while her 31-year-old girlfriend was seriously injured.
It took a full four months before the police arrested the man in his early 20s, and he was charged with driving the two by car.
The man has now been sentenced to 2.5 years in prison for driving the two while intoxicated. It reports The Friend of the Fatherland.
The man was first sentenced to 2.5 years in prison in Lister District Court, but appealed the case. He has now been sentenced in the Agder Court of Appeal, to the same punishment.
According to the newspaper, the man has always denied criminal guilt, and is said to have explained that he did not remember what happened that night. The man has explained that he was at a party in Åseral, and that he only remembers that he woke up in bed the next morning.
The police have neither witness statements nor DNA evidence that the man drove on the two women, but have digital tracks that reveal the man’s movements that night, from both mobile, heart rate monitor and car stereo.
The police theory is that the man was on his way to a cabin in the area. The digital clues indicate that the man drove to the scene of the accident, before turning around and driving home again.
