It was the twin sisters Mina Alexandra and Mille Andrea Hjalmarsen (16) from Indre Østfold who were found dead at an address in Spydeberg on the night of Sunday.

This is revealed in a press release from the police on Sunday evening.

The incident took place at the accused’s residence, but there should not have been a previous relationship between the sisters and the accused, the police write.

– On the basis of seizures and information about the course of events so far, the police have changed the preliminary charge to negligent homicide, cf. § 281, the police write.

– The police emphasize that this is still a preliminary charge as it is still early in the investigation and that this can be changed again before a final charge is made.

The police want to get in touch with people who on Friday or Saturday were in contact with or saw the girls on the stretch between Oslo, Ski and Askim.
