In addition, he has been ordered to pay 250,000 kronor in restitution to each of the three children left behind, which is more than the standard amount in murder cases.
The murder took place on November 25 of last year.
Police moved to Ellevold’s apartment on Jeløya in Moss after colleagues from the municipality sent a message of concern. Then he was off work for two days.
Hidden in the trunk
Outside the apartment, police found the 56-year-old man dead. She was hidden in the trunk of her own silver gray Volvo in a parking lot outside the apartment.
During the trial, the perpetrator explained that he and Ellevold had a two-year relationship, but that it had to be kept secret due to the age difference between them.
– We have liked each other and we have had feelings for each other. In my eyes, it matched the chemistry and the emotion. So there was nothing to tell me that Nina’s age was too high. This was not how I felt, he says.
This is how the murderer describes his secret relationship with Nina (56)
Ellevold’s three surviving children are unaware of this relationship, but say through their assistance attorney that they do not recognize themselves in the killer’s descriptions of their mother.
The killer himself has described the murder as incomprehensible. He believes that he felt rejected and that the actual act of murder was an “out of it” experience.
– I was very scared
After the murder, she stayed in Ellevold’s apartment for almost a day and did everyday things before hiding her in the trunk of her car. Several times before he visited the bedroom and abused the body.
– I was in a state I didn’t think about. There was a high risk of someone showing up at the door. He did not intend to call anyone. He was in shock and was very scared, explained the defendant in court.

The court assumes that the man left the body in the trunk because he had a plan to flee.
The man’s advocate, attorney Sille Heidar, says she is satisfied that the client has received a reduced sentence based on the acknowledgment and has contributed to the reporting of the case. However, the convicted person has not ruled on the issue of appeal.
I have a lighter punishment
State prosecutor Aud Gravås sued the court for 14 years and six months in prison, but the court has concluded that it should be somewhat shorter.
– My comment is that I take note of the verdict. I have to read it carefully and make a decision, Gravås tells TV 2.
The normal punishment for murder in Norway is 12 years in prison, but the court believes that the punishment here should be somewhat higher because the murder was committed in the home of the deceased and by a person with whom he had a relationship and should have could trust.
“Furthermore, the murder was unprovoked and for a trivial reason,” writes the Moss District Court.
