A woman in her 40s is charged with the murder of her partner in Klepp Township, police write in a press release.
Police were notified of the death early on the second day of Christmas, Christine Kleppa tells Dagbladet. An autopsy was routinely requested.
– The police have now received a preliminary autopsy report. For investigative reasons, we do not wish to comment on the details of the report, but investigations into the deceased show findings that may indicate that the man was murdered. The police have now charged his partner with murder, writes police attorney Kleppa in the press release.
Both the offended and the accused are known to the police from other sectors.
Does not admit fault
The police attorney tells Stavanger Aftenblad that it was the defendants themselves who informed AMK of the death.
Odd Rune Torstrup, defender of the accused woman, says that she does not admit her guilt in any way.
– I also react strongly to the fact that the police have come out with details of the autopsy report to the media, without first informing my client about the findings, he says.
Police stated after the autopsy that investigations indicated murder, but do not agree with Torstrup’s criticism.
– We have only said that there are findings that may indicate that he was murdered. Of course, we haven’t come out with the content itself. That is, we have not come out with details, Kleppa writes in an SMS to Dagbladet.
He refused to isolate himself: he traveled to eastern Norway
Forensic scientists are investigating the crime scene
Kleppa does not want to explain to Dagbladet what findings make the police think he has killed his partner.
Police attorney Kleppa says the custody request is being considered on an ongoing basis.
– We are very early in the investigation and much work remains to be done. The house where the deceased was found has been cordoned off and a forensic investigation is underway at the scene. In addition, the police will focus on questioning witnesses and reviewing mobile data, writes police attorney Kleppa in the press release.
