The prison meeting started at 12.15 pm at the Oslo District Court on Saturday. Police lawyer Anne Cathrine Aga informs TV 2 that she will request that the man remain in custody for four weeks.
– The basis of our request for custody is that we believe that there is a danger of recidivism, and we note in particular that he is accused again of driving under the influence of drugs at the beginning of December, informs Aga to VG.
The man’s lawyer, Harald Fjeldstad, tells the channel that his client objects to custody.
– My client explained that he panicked. He was previously under investigation for driving under the influence and did not have a valid driver’s license, which may have contributed to the panic, says Fjeldstad.
Stopped
Fjeldstad tells VG that the man admits to riding the boy.
However, the defender affirms that the man does not admit criminal guilt for driving under the influence of drugs. The man was convicted of similar crimes several years ago.
The man in his 30s was arrested at his home in Oslo at 1 o’clock on Friday night. He is now charged with negligent homicide, drugged driving and fleeing after the collision.
Drive drunk
The boy was hit by a dark Mitsubishi on the Maria Dehli road near Grorud station around 7pm on Thursday night. He died in Ullevål hospital on Friday afternoon.
Police say the man is also charged with driving under the influence of alcohol after an episode in Oslo in early December. It is not known what restrictions the police will require the accused to submit to during the prison term.
According to VG, the police attorney justifies the request for custody both with the risk of recidivism and the risk of loss of evidence.
