Background: Man charged with murder of cohabitant
– Do the accused cooperate?
– He has explained himself once and he wants to explain himself further, so we expect that he will participate in interrogations in the future, says the police inspector.
– Has there been a violent prehistory here?
– If you ask if there have been reports or house riot reports, there has been nothing known to the police, the police inspector says.
– But do the police suspect that it may have been?
– I can not comment on that now. The investigation will also be about further.
The police have completed technical crime scene investigations and are now entering a phase of obtaining technical clues and questioning witnesses.
– Then it is about witnesses who knew one or both, says Kostveit.
– Shock and deep sadness
Lawyer Preben Kløvfjell assists the deceased’s parents and two brothers, and said the same day to VG that the family is characterized by deep grief.
– The family is in shock and characterized by deep grief. Beyond that, they have no desire to comment on the case, Kløvfjell told VG.
When the message came, the ambulance and police immediately rushed to the scene.
– They tried life-saving first aid, but could not save her, Kostveit said to VG April 5.
The man called AMK a quarter of an hour past midnight on Tuesday. Then he was in a car on the way from the couple’s detached house in Krødsherad in Buskerud in Viken.
– AMK forwarded to us. We agreed that he would meet the police at the police station in Vikersund. It took a while before he got there, says Kostveit.
