Police link weapons to the son charged with murder

The police have also upheld a ban on letters and visits, as well as a media ban, due to the danger of evidence being lost.

The imprisonment meeting went as an office business, which means that the accused did not appear physically in court.

Seized firearms

The man, who is in his 30s, is accused of having shot and killed his father, the profiled lawyer Tor Kjærvik (70), in his father’s home on Røa on Monday night.

In addition, the police believe that the son, who Kjærvik has from a previous relationship, tried to kill Kjærvik’s cohabitant.

“In the assessment, the court has placed particular emphasis on the fact that the investigation is in a very initial phase and that the opportunity to forfeit evidence is particularly great in the initial phase. The accused has not been questioned and it is important that the police have the opportunity to follow up on his explanation without him having the opportunity to influence evidence “, writes Oslo District Court.

“There are witnesses connected to the case who it is important that can be questioned without the accused having the opportunity to influence their explanations, which is also believed to be important in clarifying the background and motive for the incident,” the court writes.

– Family conflict

TV 2 is aware that several witnesses saw the cohabitant run out after the shooting, and that she herself called the police. The accused also notified the police about the incident.

The police state at a press conference on Wednesday afternoon that their investigations link a seized weapon to the accused.

The police have also searched the home of the accused in Kongsberg.

After the arrest on Monday night, the man had a short, introductory conversation with the police. Even then, he told of a long-running family conflict, according to the defendant’s defense attorney, John Christian Elden.

Police attorney Anne Marie Hustad does not want to comment on that information, but tells TV 2 that it is an important part of the investigation to map the relationships of those involved.

The son was interrogated by the police for more than six hours on Tuesday.

“No decision has been made on criminal guilt. He cooperates with the police and will continue his explanation in later interrogations “, wrote lawyer Sol Elden in an SMS after the interrogation, where she assisted the accused.

Police attorney Hustad tells TV 2 that they will continue further questioning in the coming days.

The cohabitant saw the murder

The assistance lawyer for Kjærvik’s cohabitant, Ellen Holager Andenæs, says that her client is strongly affected by the incident.

– She was an eyewitness to the fact that her cohabitant was shot and killed for many years, and she herself was subjected to an assassination attempt, so she is naturally strongly affected, Andenæs says.

According to Andenæs, the relationship between the cohabitant and Kjærvik’s son was not a central part of the cohabitant’s interrogation.

– I think they have had a good relationship as she has perceived it, but now I do not know what he has said, she says.

How will she be cared for in the future?

She is with family and good friends, so she is well taken care of in the days ahead, says Andenæs.
