41-year-old Stian Hole was last seen on 7 June this year. He then shopped at a shop in Hamarøy municipality. Two days later he was reported missing.
According to Nordland newspaper He stayed in a lavvo on Herøysletta on a peninsula north of Bognes.
Since the day he was reported missing, the police have carried out extensive searches and investigated all traces of him.
– Previously accused
This summer, two people were charged in the case so that the police could carry out communications monitoring. For example, secret interception of telephone conversations or data traffic.
But no one has been arrested in the case so far.
On Tuesday, the police arrested three people. All are charged with murder or attempted murder at Stian Hole.
Two of those arrested are the same ones who were charged this summer. One of them was only charged with false testimony.
– The third accused is a new suspect for murder, says police prosecutor at Nordland police district, Torje Imøy to Aftenposten.
Access was broken
The legal aid lawyer for Stian Hole’s relatives, Kristin F. Hammervik, says the relatives are more than 50 percent sure that the accused have something to do with the case.
During the first period of the investigation, the next of kin received ongoing information about the police’s investigative steps. In recent weeks, this has changed.
– For the last four to five weeks, the police have restricted the documents for the next of kin. They have therefore received no more information than that the police have had a lot to do, and that the case is being investigated with full force. They were informed on Tuesday that three people were arrested yesterday, says Kristin F. Hammervik.
The next of kin received information about the arrests on Tuesday. They were relieved about this, according to the aid lawyer.
– They trust the police, says Kristin F. Hammervik.
The investigation continues
The interrogations of the accused have now begun.
– They will have the opportunity to defend themselves, says police attorney Torje Imøy.
The accused will also be produced for remand. Imøy says the investigation continues.
– If there is anyone who has seen or heard anything, or anyone who has any tips, they must inform the police, he says.
