Another person has been found dead after the fire of a commercial building in Moelv. Police are investigating whether it could have been a scam and are asking for clues in the case.
The case is being updated.
The person was found in the ruins of the fire Thursday night. The deceased has been sent for an autopsy to clarify the cause of death and her identity.
The death of another person has already been confirmed following the fire that broke out at the Moelv commercial building in Inland on Wednesday morning. The building is a large room for the winter storage of cars, boats and other types of vehicles.
Police attorney Sten Floor Nelson says they are working on the assumption that the fire may have started.
– Without wanting to lock ourselves in the main hypothesis. We are still investigating extensively, he told VG late Thursday.
– Is there anything that could indicate that it is attached?
– At the moment we cannot say anything more, but Kripos helps with the investigations at the scene of the fire. We’ve also ordered a fire dog from Kripos and received signs that it might be in place tomorrow, Nelson says.
Police are now seeking advice from people who may have made observations in relation to the fire:
“Images and video from the dash cam in cars in the Storgata area in Moelv and Mjøsbrua between 05:00 and 08:00 on Wednesday 30 September are of particular interest,” they write in a press release.
Work on the site continues on Friday, as tactical and technical investigations continue.
Maintenance man missing
The police attorney confirms that they have been in contact with the owner of the salon. They have received information that a person on Wednesday morning must have performed maintenance on the roof.
This person is reported missing and the car he had at his disposal was outside the hall. Therefore, the police have the perception that one of the deceased is this man, but will not be able to confirm or deny it until the preliminary autopsy report is available. It is not expected before Friday morning.
The man’s relatives have been notified.

The police lawyer says they had to use construction machinery to remove the burned items to make it safe to work there.
– Do you think the man was on the roof when it started to burn?
– The roof collapsed in connection with the fire, so there is speculation, says Nelson.
