NARVIKGÅRDEN (Dagbladet): – He claims to have nothing to do with this. It is clear he expects to be released, said attorney Egil Malm Dagbladet.

– From the boat and its own

He defends the Greek ship officer in the 30s who was yesterday arrested and charged with murder after the discovery of blood contamination on board “Anangel Explorer” – as a woman of 30 years were reported missing from.

She is still gone without a trace.

Today a man will be brought to detention in Salten District Court in Narvik. The police will probably request that he be imprisoned for four weeks while they work to find out what happened.

– He denies having committed a punishable offense, and he knows just as little as everyone else how this woman has gone. He has tried to call her numerous times when the boat was on its way from Amsterdam to Narvik. Both from the present telephone and mobile phone. It has been closed, said the defender.

– To investigate further, he has been in contact with her family, to see if they might know where she is. He has done both by telephone and SMS. But they do not know where she has gone.

Last night it possible homicide ship yet been leaving Ofotfjorden.

Sometime during the night or morning has sailed away.

– knew her from before the

The still missing, Ukrainian woman and the Greek police had “close relationship” with the police to go into that.

– How they knew each other, according to your client?

– He knew her from before, but how close is difficult for me to say. He said he knew her from before. They met in Amsterdam when she came to look for work, but after they had finished the meeting she was gone, says Malm.

Will not comment on the blood

Police Halogaland told yesterday that this is a special case as they have no equal. A larger area on the boat was examined with chemicals. It was found blood.

– What does he say that police found blood contamination at a site inside the boat?

– He does not have any comment on that.

Malm says police should have a good explanation for why they want to imprison the Greek ship officer.

– If the police do not come with a causal relationship between him and her disappearance, there is no basis for the present incarceration. It must be substantiated. He disputes the absolute that there is a correlation, said Malm.

Police Halogaland would not comment on the matter until after the remand hearing.
