The Tragic Murder of a Son: Legal Follow-Up and Police Response

– Witnessing the murder of her own son is an inhumane experience, and she is now receiving the necessary follow-up from the healthcare system.

That’s what Hanne Wold Johansen at Elden Advokatfirma says, who is a lawyer assisting the bereaved.

He was questioned by the police on Friday

The deceased’s mother was questioned by the police yesterday, and explained what she witnessed on the night of last Monday.

As previously discussed by NRK, the mother stood as a helpless witness outside the apartment where her son was killed.

Through the windows, she saw her son being beaten repeatedly with a bat by his girlfriend. the 18-year-old woman is now charged with the murder.

The mother has also explained to the police what happened in the hours before the murder where she was in contact with the deceased.

Called the police from the emergency room

Just hours before the murder, the young couple visited the emergency room in Porsgrunn in the wake of a violent incident between them.

From the emergency room, the 18-year-old called the police operations centre, but the call did not lead to the police moving out.

– They went to the emergency room together. The accused eventually went home and the 22-year-old came home a little later, police inspector Odd Skei Kostveit told NRK on Friday.

He also confirmed that the 22-year-old was picked up by his mother at the emergency room.

– The mother picked up the victim at the emergency room, he drove to the apartment and waited outside while the 22-year-old entered the apartment.

According to the welfare lawyer, the bereaved react strongly to the fact that their son did not get help from the police on Sunday when he asked for it.

– Strongly affected

They are strongly influenced by the thought that the murder could have been avoided, says a press release sent out by Advokatfirmaet Elden on Saturday morning.

– It will be my task in the future to advise the bereaved on whether to pursue the police’s handling of both previous reports of violence and the assessments made by the police in the hours before the murder, says Wold Johansen.

She does not wish to comment on details of the case at this time.
