The court believes that Tom Hagen likely killed or helped kill his wife, Anne-Elisabeth Hagen.
Now the Lørenskog billionaire is detained for four weeks.
The Lower Roman District Court believes that there is a danger of evidence being destroyed if Tom Hagen (70) is released, and notes that there may be possible perpetrators on the loose:

“The court also considers probable that there have been several people involved in the case. The court indicates that Anne-Elisabeth Falkevik Hagen has been moved from the house», it says in the arrest warrant.

Additionally, the district court shows several documents as it believes “It shows some of the professionalism that has been required”.
The billionaire was arrested Tuesday morning. He is accused of murder or complicity in murder.
He denies having done anything to Anne-Elisabeth Hagen, who has been missing since October 31, 2018.

The prison sentence reveals the danger of what kind of evidence can be lost if the murdered billionaire is released:
“In the court’s opinion, the defendant has a real opportunity to destroy or lose evidence, for example by removing or destroying evidence in places that the police have not yet investigated, or will investigate again, or will coordinate the explanation with others involved.”
The garden is imprisoned with letters, visits, and media bans. He will be in complete isolation until May 13.
Defender: must be released
The garden was released during the prison meeting on Wednesday.
“I perceive suspicion much weaker than the impression I have when I look at the media,” says Svein Holden after the prison meeting.
VG is working to get a new comment from the defender.
The defender described the reasons for the arrest as “flimsy” and made it very clear that he believed the billionaire should be released.
– Statistically, people in such cases are not released in a detention for the first time, it almost never happens. But if it’s ever going to happen, then I think it should be in this case, Holden said.
The lower Roman district jail, which was behind closed doors, lasted more than four hours. The 70-year-old murderer explained and answered questions he had in the courtroom, according to the defender.
However, what was said is unknown, as the public was excluded.

Not found
Anne-Elisabeth Hagen disappeared from her home in Sloraveien in Lørenskog on October 31, 2018.
First, the police believed that they were facing a kidnapping case with a financial motive, even after a letter with a ransom claim of nine million euros was found.
Last summer, police opened up the possibility that they may be facing a murder case, and on Tuesday the husband was arrested and charged with murder or complicity in the murder.
Despite the extensive investigations that have been going on for 18 months, the police have been unable to find Anne-Elisabeth Hagen.
VG returns with more.
