On Sunday at 19.48 the police received a report that a dead person had been found at a private address in Stjørdal. The death was immediately considered suspicious.
Shortly afterwards, a man in his 50s was arrested. He has been charged with murder, and transported to the central detention center in Trondheim, where he will be questioned.
Relatives have been notified
The police state that the deceased has now been identified and next of kin have been notified.
The deceased is a man in his 50s, not a resident of Trøndelag.
He will undergo an autopsy.
The police are currently carrying out forensic investigations at the scene, questioning witnesses and collecting digital traces.
Inquiries are also made in the neighborhood throughout the evening and night, says Anette Strøm Røsholdt, according to a press release from the police. She is the prosecuting officer in Trøndelag police district.
Main hypothesis: Murder
– We are in an early phase of the investigation. So far, the police’s main hypothesis is murder, but we are working on the basis of several theories, including the possibility of impunity grounds such as emergency justice and emergency guardianship. The focus going forward will be to map the sequence of events, says Røsholdt.
As the police assess the case, there is no danger to the surroundings. The police have cordoned off the suspected crime scene, which is a private residence, where they are investigating.
The police’s incident leader in Stjørdal, Mattis Hamborg, tells NRK that the police have the situation under control and that there is no danger to the surroundings.
The accused’s defender, Tore Angen, has not been available for comment.
