Lower Romerike District Court decided Thursday that the trial after the fatal accident, where the two young girls died, must be postponed.
– reason is conflicts of interest related to the court-appointed expert, said Judge Anja Bech to Rome Blad .
The case was originally scheduled in Lower Romerike District Court on Tuesday, February 10th, but is now postponed indefinitely. It was set off four days of the trial.

Personal connections
Police Attorney Kare Kalvå in Romerike Police says that impartiality rebuttal short time ago came from defender to the accused man.
– It was erected impartiality objection to the court-appointed expert in the case, because of some personal connections between the expert Erik Aanerud and counsel Christian Lundin in the case, says Kalvå RB.
Erik Aanerud collision expert. As court-appointed expert, he has assisted in connection with reconstruction of the fatal accident, and NPRA investigation of the accident.
The reason inhabiliteten is that one of the daughters of AANERUD wife along with aggrieved Christian Lundin.
– I’ll certainly criticized for not having said earlier, but it was totally remote from my thoughts. I was not thinking that it could be a problem. It was Christian Lundin who asked me if we should not say until about family link to the right. We did 8 January and now we are here, where the case is postponed, says Erik Aanerud to Indre Akershus Blad.
– Sought by defending
Collision expert dishes criticism against the accused lawyer, Gunhild Lærum.
– I think this is totally meaningless and a very sought by the defender to the defendants. She has one goal and that is to get my report out of the world, because she does not like what it says there, says Aanerud.
Lærum answer the following for criticism:
– The Aanerud says is completely unreasonable. It is he who made contact with the court, to tell about a possible conflict of interest. When two straight angry considers says he is incompetent, it has not anything to do with the defender, says Lærum.
– Very sad
Lærum seem otherwise it is sad that the trial be postponed.
– It is very sad that the people involved have not come with this far earlier. We had a preparatory meeting in January and this was not mentioned, said defense lawyer.
She is happy both police and the Court of Appeal does not load the defendant for the postponement.
– For all parties, this is a fierce belatsning, which is why I had hoped that this case would proceed as scheduled . But my client can not be judged on the basis of a report from an expert who is incompetent. I realize that the police way put your foot down, saying Lærum.
– When can the trial coming up again?
– These things take time. Maybe not until August, said Lærum RB.
