The accused and the offended in the case are now separated. The former husband (53) sat as a member during the first day of the court together with his assistance lawyer. While the AMK talks were being played, he cried. And eventually left the courtroom.
In his explanation, he told about the different cases of poisoning, the first in 2019, and where he woke up when he was on his way into the air ambulance. In the end, there were so many admissions that he had problems separating the different ones.
The case is ongoing for seven days in Trøndelag District Court in Trondheim. On Wednesday, the accused woman will explain herself.
