LØRENSKOG (VG) For almost five months, the police have denied Tom Hagen (70) to move home. Now the police have removed the barricades around the plot and he can move home.
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 was out of the house on Friday morning, the barrier tapes had been removed.
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.
The 70-year-old defender, attorney Svein Holden, does not want to comment on the case.
– It’s about time and it’s very good for him that he can move home, Hagen’s child assistance lawyer Ståle 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.

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.
