Accused of attempting to kill the man with the herbicide aconitine – NRK Trøndelag

This afternoon, it has been decided that the woman will be remanded in custody for four weeks.

The prosecution actually wanted the woman to be remanded in custody until the trial began.

The woman in her 50s has been wanted internationally since August.

The arrest took place in a municipality in Trøndelag on Tuesday, after the woman reported herself to the police on Sunday via her defender.

She is charged with attempted murder of her husband. In addition, she is charged with gross fraud of 1.1 million kroner.

Strengthens the danger of evasion

Trøndelag District Court emphasizes that the accused has been wanted and tried to get in touch with for a longer period.

The fact that the woman has moved around, strengthens the risk of evasion, the district court believes.

She herself agreed to custody.

Points to possible motive

The documents in the district court also reveal a motive for the acts she is accused of.

– The case has been thoroughly investigated and the investigation shows a possible motive in that the accused has taken out several loans in the victim’s name during the periods the victim has been ill and hospitalized, writes Trøndelag District Court.

Found herbicide in the man’s blood

The woman’s ex-husband, now ex-husband, was hospitalized eleven times in one year. He was declared clinically dead twice, but is still alive.

During the last hospitalization, doctors found traces of the neurotoxin aconitine in his blood.

Aconitin is found in the plant helmet, among other things. The poison paralyzes muscles and causes breathing and heart problems.

– Do not understand

John Berg is the defender of the woman.

– She is completely incomprehensible to what she is accused of. She says she has nothing to do with this, Berg told NRK on Tuesday morning.

He will not say anything about why the woman has been on the run, and why she signed up now.

Produced for custody

On Tuesday, she will be produced for custody, Chief State Attorney Bjørn Soknes informs NRK.

Police want to keep her in custody until the trial begins.

– We are awaiting feedback from Trøndelag District Court on the time for planning. We hope it will be scheduled in the first part of January, says police attorney Charlotte Aspehaug to NRK.
