LØRENSKOG (VG) Tom Hagen (70), accused of murder, is eager to move into his home in Fjellhamar, and hopes to be left alone.
The 70-year-old defender, attorney Svein Holden, told VG on Friday afternoon.
The billionaire accused of murder has not been to Fjellhamar’s single-family home in Lørenskog since he was arrested on his way to work on April 28.
Police believe the house at Sloraveien 4 is important evidence in the murder investigation against the billionaire. They also believe that there are good reasons to suspect that Anne-Elisabeth Hagen was murdered in the house and that her husband is behind it.
Tom Hagen denies criminal guilt – and has always made it clear that he wants to move home.
When VG arrived at the house on Friday morning, the barrier tapes had been removed. Shortly before 1 in the afternoon, the defender arrived at the house, locked himself in, and toured the house. There he also had a telephone conversation with Tom Hagen.
– I’ve seen the house as it is now. It is not very visible that it was investigated there. I have also spoken with Tom Hagen. He thinks it will be good to come back and I hope that all the press respects his desire for privacy and that of his family in the future, says Holden.
– When will Hagen move home?
“It won’t be long before he’s in his place, and he’ll live there in the future,” Holden replies.

Early Friday, a witness told VG that both Bravida police officers and employees were on the property Friday morning. In addition to the barrier tapes, surveillance cameras and surveillance signs must have been removed.
– The police, after a general assessment, decided not to request a new seizure of Sloraveien 4. The property will be recognized to the defendants before the 21.09 deadline, writes police inspector Agnes Beate Hemiø in the eastern police district in a press release.
Hagen’s child development assistance lawyer, Ståle Kihle, believes it was about time the house was released.
– And it is very good for Tom Hagen that he can move home, Kihle tells VG.

– Extensive surveys
In Friday’s press release, the Eastern Police District claims they have conducted extensive investigations into the property.
“But for the sake of the investigation, we have no comment on what kind of investigations have been carried out or the results of these,” says the police inspector.
The police also claim that they do not want to contribute to unnecessary attention to the accused and his person, including keeping the press continually updated on residence, whereabouts, etc.
– Therefore, we have no further comments related to this, says Hemiø.

Riddle for the police: Where are Tom Hagen’s prints?
Prolonged fight
Since the arrest, the Eastern Police District has described the work at Sloraveien 4 as slow and as “complex work of a very dynamic nature.” However, they did not want to comment on the details of the work, except to indicate that relevant findings have been made.
However, Hagen and his defender have been skeptical about the use of time and repeated investigations, believing that the chance of finding new clues, so long after the disappearance, is believed to be small.
Holden, among other things, has argued that the police conducted a full investigation of the crime scene in 2018 and several investigative steps at the house in 2019.
In August, the 70-year-old man accused of murder fought in court to win back the house from the police, but lost. However, the police did not fulfill his wish to keep the house for another three months.
Instead, the Court of Appeal decided that the police were allowed to keep the house until 21 September. Recently, researchers have conducted, among other things, several mobile home surveys.
– The time has come for Hagen to move home. It has been a long and demanding period for him to be homeless, Holden says.
– What do you know about the investigations that have been carried out in the house and relevant findings?
– I know exactly what has been done, and I sincerely hope that the police have made findings that can help move the case forward. Tom Hagen wants the police to solve the case and have found information that can solve it, says the defender.
