The two people who were found dead in the burning ruins in Moelv have already been identified. The suspicion that something criminal has happened has been strengthened, police believe.
The identification of the two who have now been found in the ruins of the Moelv fire reinforces the police suspicion that something criminal has occurred.
This is confirmed by police attorney Sten Floor Nelson to VG.
– This reinforces the suspicion that something criminal has happened. The deceased must have met and be in a relationship. They’re both from the same place, says police attorney Sten Floor Nelson.
Early Wednesday morning a fire broke out in an industrial building in Moelv, inland. The firefighters moved to the scene and the extinction work began. A few hours later, a dead man was found among the ruins.

The deceased was sent for an autopsy and the preliminary report indicates that this person is a caretaker who was performing maintenance on the roof of the industrial building when the fire started.
On Thursday night, another person was found dead in the ruins of the fire. In a press release on Saturday, police write that the person is a man in his 40s from Gjøvik who was reported missing by the family the day before the fatal fire.
The caretaker and the man in his 40s have a relationship with each other, which is critical to the police investigation.
Police used a dog at the scene to search the ruins for people.
– At the moment we don’t think there’s more there. Of course, nothing should be ruled out, but yesterday the search was completed with the dog without it being marked, says the police lawyer.

It is currently unclear what caused the fire, but the discovery of two dead people makes police believe they are facing a criminal case.
– We have not found the home, so I can confirm that we still have an unknown cause of the fire, says Floor Nelson.
He adds that the area is still cordoned off and that it is being investigated.
– It is a large crime scene, so it will take time to navigate. There are still guards there, says the police lawyer.
