– I read his police statements, so I’m not surprised. It was interesting for the parents, but they do not feel that we approached the truth about what happened on May 6, 1995, says the public prosecutor.
The 52 -year -old denies having something to do with murder.

– He could have hitchhiked with me
– Creation of mode
Lea understands that it can be complicated to speak of things that lie so back in time. 27 years have passed since Birgitte Tengs was brutally killed on Karmøy and Vassbakk was also questioned about reports in the late 1980s.
– The question is if he deliberately hides the truth or if it is better explained that he can, he says Lea.
– What do you think he wants to accuse the questions about the episodes with ex -girlfriends and girls who collected in the car?
– They must create a candidate mode. They must demonstrate that he has committed crimes of immorality long before the murder in 1995. This is the modus operandi, and therefore they must place it on the crime scene via the DNA. The two together will create an explosion strong enough to make it condemn.
Cartoons are presented as proof
– Do you think they manage to draw an image of a fashionable candidate?
– Yes, they know exactly where they are going. And what the rest of us knows is that many of these girls will have to explain themselves, so this is only the beginning. When they have finished with this and previous judgments, you obviously have a candidate mode, but if it is sufficient it is the big question. It is far from practicing morality to kill.

– warned against this
The public prosecutor, the interim state prosecutor Thale Thomseth, confirms Lea’s declaration on a sort of energy package of mode and DNA.
– Yes, DNA is our main test. And above all in one case like this, it is interesting to see which criminal past has the person.
The main test of the accusation is the discovery of Vassbakk’s DNA in a blood stain on the Birgitte Tengs tights. The defense broadcast the theory of contagion or contamination.
– We felt the accused answer alternately in a vague way to the questions and in a very clear way to others. Could you pursue more than what he says he doesn’t remember?
– We record the same. He explains very detail on something and says that he does not remember other things at all. We will return to how we evaluate it later, he says.

Defender Stian Kristensen tells Dagbladet that this was what they warned against.
– The image of a single and poor man is drawn, someone who is alone and out. The accusation is trying to create a man who is capable of what is described in the accusation act. It is a continuation of their introductory lesson and we have already warned against the assassination of the character and that an attempt will be made to draw an image of a person suitable for their needs.
– He would never come to mind
– He is sad
The defense lawyer points out that Vassbakk showed remorse on the witnesses. There, the 52 -year -old said he knew he had done many stupid things.
– It is not something I am proud of. I am ashamed. There are things that have been decided. I lived my whole life in the Costcism and Costcism. He followed me throughout my life and will follow me throughout my life. It was a great variety and I apologize for the tension that caused to afflicted people. I am very sorry for what I did, said Vassbakk from the witnesses.
The defender underlines it.
– He says he is sorry for what he has done in the past and apologizes to everyone who has injured. Now he was tired and tomorrow he will be asked more questions about personal and intimate details. So he will probably say something himself too.
