– When we arrived, we could ascertain that one person had been killed. The perpetrator was also at the scene, says Røtterud.
The task leader states that it is a man who has been arrested, while the dead person is a woman. The police do not know the relationship between the two. They are also working to notify next of kin.
No witnesses
According to Røtterud, there have been no witnesses to the incident.
– We have been in contact with the neighboring apartments, but no one has brought anything special, so we do not have much more information at the moment, says the task leader.
Around 4.30 a.m., the police’s crime scene technicians arrived at the scene.
– Seizures have been made in the case, which we also believe were used to carry out the murder, says the task leader.
This is the 17th case where the police in this country have started a murder investigation in 2024. In total there are 22 victims in the various cases.
