Millehaugen is moved to Ullersmo prison – NRK Norway – Overview of news from different parts of the country

Stig Millehaugen will be transferred to Ullersmo prison, NRK will be confirmed by Stig Storvik, regional director of the Prison and Probation Service region east.

It has not been decided whether Millehaugen will be at Ullersmo permanently, Storvik adds.

– He will now be placed at Ullersmo. It is basically not a detention center. Detainees must have a special offer, which can be found in our detention facilities, Storvik continues.

In Norway, remand prisoners can serve time in Trondheim prison or on Ila. Trondheim has been clear that they do not want Millehaugen back there.

Storvik can still not confirm where Millehaugen will zone further.

A week on the run

Millehaugen was arrested without drama in Østmarka in Oslo on Wednesday morning. The arrest took place approx. at 10.30. By then, the 53-year-old had been on the run for a week.

– He was cooperative, tired and exhausted, and has probably been in the woods for several days and was probably a little tired for that reason, operations manager Tor Gulbrandsen informs NRK.

Stig Millehaugen, convicted of double murder, escaped from Trondheim prison on 1 June after leave. There was an extensive police hunt both in Norway and in Sweden.

Weakened suspicion of contributor

Wednesday night, Millehaugen was questioned by the police.

His lawyer, Morten Furuholmen, says the client has been quite personal in his explanations.

– He has been open about how he experiences being in custody.

This is also confirmed by Børge Enoksen, police attorney in the Oslo police district.

– He gave the police detailed explanations last night. Among other things, he told about the reason why he did not show up in Trondheim prison, Enoksen told NRK.

Early in the investigation, a person was charged with having helped Millehaugen escape. After Wednesday’s interrogation, the suspicion against the accused has weakened, Enoksen says.

– We have not decided the case yet. There is still a review of other clues we have, but the suspicion against contributors has weakened.

When asked if the police are likely to charge other people with complicity, Enoksen answers that it is unlikely.
