To make a long story short
- A pair of friends who visited the cottage of the woman accused of murder and the deceased man the night before he was found dead feel suspicious.
- The police have found weapons with the pair of friends, but there are no indications that these weapons are connected to the murder case.
- The pair of friends have now chosen to appear in the media to clear themselves. They describe the situation as an enormous burden.
Sea view
It was at the end of December that the man in his 70s was found dead with a bullet in the head in a cabin on Flisa. It was the roommate, now accused of murder, who alerted the emergency services that the man was lying lifeless in his bed.
The woman, who denies criminal guilt, has explained that she last had contact with him the evening before – and that she does not know what led to his death.
However, the weapon that fired the fatal shot has disappeared. This despite the fact that the police have seized a double-digit number of weapons, both at the cabin in question and in the couple’s home in Bærum.
In addition, Dagbladet was able to say earlier this week that the police have discovered weapons in the possession of a couple of friends, who were visiting the cabin of the accused and the deceased the night before the man was found dead. Later, several media mentioned the case.
Police inspector Henning Klauseie first stated that weapons found with the pair of friends could be linked to those involved in the murder case – but later clarified that there were no indications that the seized weapons were owned or used by the accused or the deceased.
All the weapons were stored correctly and with the necessary permits, he stated.

– Will tell the truth
The pair of friends have nevertheless found the media coverage burdensome. Now they take the magazine out of their mouths in an interview with the local newspaper Østlendingen, where they say that they feel left out and made suspicious.
– It has been a traumatic experience. Quite simply, an enormous burden. That is why we will stand up and tell the truth. Too much of what has been written and said in various media is not reality, they say.
They told the local newspaper that the police wanted to check out several of their weapons, including rifles and handguns of the .22 caliber type. The man is actively involved in both hunting and gun competitions.
– We have pure flour in the bag and did not grudge for either one or the other. We did not think at all that one could believe that the weapon that was used in the holiday home would be among mine, much less that it would be suspected that we had anything to do with the incident, they say to the local newspaper and add :
– We had heard nothing but that we were questioned as witnesses because we had been there. But then the grinder began to grind.
They say that the speculation and rumors that have arisen afterwards have been very unpleasant. Dagbladet has been given permission to reproduce the quotes.
The police have previously confirmed that, as of now, no one other than the man’s partner has the status of suspect or accused in the case.
Murder mystery: – Inexplicable
– Law-abiding pensioners
The couple has engaged lawyer Jostein Løken at Elden Advokatfirma to assist them further.
– They have had a terrible time since it came out in the media. That was totally wrong. They have not done anything that can be criticized, Løken tells Dagbladet, adding:
– They are law-abiding pensioners who have nothing whatsoever to do with any criminal offence.
Løken says that the pair of friends were well acquainted with the accused and the deceased, and that it has thus been “extremely burdensome” for them to suddenly be in the vicinity of such a case.
According to Dagbladet’s information, the accused and the deceased have been cohabitants for a number of years. The police investigation has so far not revealed any conflicts between the two.
A friend of the deceased man has also previously told Dagbladet that the relationship between the two – seen from the outside – seemed good.
In grief: – He was generous
Police: The scene affected
The police have previously stated that there was nothing at the scene to indicate that anything criminal had happened when they arrived at the address early in the morning on 30 December.
Now the police believe that the crime scene may have been affected after the death. The woman accused of murder had access to the crime scene until the murder alarm went off on 10 January.
– Based on the circumstances, we believe that something has been done at the crime scene that has affected how it looks. There are currently inexplicable things related to how the crime scene looked, Klauseie told Dagbladet earlier this week.
It is still important for the police to map out what the scene was like before the emergency services arrived. The police have therefore, among other things, seized mattresses, duvets and pillows, which are now being examined for possible traces of blood.
