– This case has had a serious outcome, says Police Chief Kirsten Lindeberg.
The Agder Police District has now asked the Special Police Affairs Unit to assess whether anything worthy of criticism has happened.
Cansel Godek, 22, was found dead in his home in Evje on Friday, October 30.
The ex-girlfriend is charged with murder and death threats. The 20-year-old even called the police about the incident.
It is said that he had threatened to kill Godek several times before. She reported him on October 1.
Then he also asked for a restraining order.
There is no clear answer as to why there was never a restraining order, according to the police chief.
– It may well be that he was still in treatment. This is something the Bureau will look at, he says.
The defendant was jailed for four weeks on Monday.
It has acknowledged the facts, but has not ruled on criminal guilt.
– a terrible tragedy
The defendant is a man in his 20s who arrived in Norway in 2015. He is originally from Afghanistan.
He had a two-year-old daughter with the deceased.
The girl is being cared for close to her family, according to development assistance attorney Kristine Eide.
– It is a terrible tragedy to which the family is now exposed. A girl has lost her mother and the family has lost a daughter and a sister, Eide says.
The family is followed by the municipality’s crisis team. They also get good help and support from family and friends, Eide says.
He does not want to comment on the death threats that came before the murder.
The murder occurred on Friday night.

Many advance warnings
According to VG, 156 women and 18 men have been registered murdered in couple homicide cases since 2000.
These are cases where the couple is accused by the police or convicted in court.
Previous research has also shown that many of the victims in these cases have been in contact with the police before being killed.
A review by NRK in 2019 showed that the police were involved in at least 14 of 49 cases of intimate partner murder in the period 2013-2017.
Homicide investigator Vibeke Ottesen says that there are few murders of couples in Norway compared to other countries, but that murders of couples make up a large proportion of murders that take place in this country.
“About a quarter of all murders are peer killings,” he told NRK.
