On Sunday evening, it emerged that a 19-year-old man was charged with the murder of a woman (20) at Åsane in Bergen.
During a press conference, prosecutor Eli Valheim in the West police district stated that they are both from Eastern Norway and have lived in Bergen since last fall. They are students and they knew each other before.
The defendant was hospitalized. On Monday, the Bergen district court decided to take him into custody for four weeks.
The family of the woman in Østfold is deeply grieved.
– It is a family in deep shock and pain. It was a shock to them. They have said that they hope to be at peace in their pain. They will be together now. They have lost a daughter and a sister, aid lawyer Einar Råen tells Dagbladet.

– Disgusting
He does not want to comment on the relationship between the woman and the 19-year-old defendant.
Råen has been given access to police documents and will familiarize himself with the case.
Bergensavisen has spoken with two men in their 20s who live in the building where the murder took place. At around 9 p.m. on Saturday, they received a phone call from the mother of one of the people who lived in the apartment. She was worried because she hadn’t been in contact with them for a while.
The two students say that they, along with the owner, entered the apartment. There they found the man in one bedroom and the dead woman in another bedroom.
– This is unpleasant. It’s a mixed bag of commotion, and something I never thought I’d see, says one of the neighbors to the newspaper.
Dagbladet was unable to reach the owner on Monday. The assistant attorney will not comment on the events that led to the discovery of the murder.
Incarceration accepted
The emergency services moved at 11:30 p.m. on Saturday. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene. They’ll do an autopsy at the Gade Institute.
Defense attorney Erik Johan Mjelde claims that the 19-year-old agreed to the imprisonment and the restrictions for which the prosecution filed a lawsuit. The court decided to imprison him for four weeks with a ban on letters and visits, as well as a ban on the media for the entire prison term.
– He’s still hospitalized. He has been questioned and the charge presented. I don’t want to say how he reacts to the prosecution itself, but he accepts four weeks of custody, the defender tells Dagbladet.
The young man was initially suspected of “putting someone in a state of helplessness” but on Sunday night the charge was changed to murder.
According to NTB, the two lived together, but were not lovers. Both the deceased and the accused were born and raised in Norway.
