Sentenced to prison for having abused his son (3) to death – NRK

The man’s three year old son was on March 1 last year brought to hospital in Mo i Rana in the ambulance. The boy was alive when he arrived at the hospital, but later died of head injuries.

Rana District Court sentenced the man to jail for eight years for having caused her son’s death. The verdict is in line with the prosecutor’s assertion in the case.

Satisfied with the judgment

The man has always denied guilt for his son’s death, but the court wrote in its judgment that they look His explanation as implausible at this point.

Prosecutor Erik Thronæs satisfied with the judgment.

– I think it is very good that the court has followed prosecutors. We also got an amendment in 2010, whose purpose was to get higher penalties for serious violent offenses. Violence against children is an area that has high priority and it is good that the court follows.

Refuses culpability for their son’s death

The man’s lawyer, Christian Wiig, said in court that one could not ignore the fact that the boy’s injuries could result from a fall, but the court believes this is a theory that appears highly unlikely.

Wiig also think there is reason to question the conclusions the experts have come forward to and about the credibility of children under questioning. Thronæs believes his side that the evidence in the case is clear.

– Prosecutors believe it was great evidence in the case and it seems that the court has placed great emphasis on the evidence that is performed. It is a thorough and comprehensive judgment where the court has given a detailed account of the evidence that is brought in the case.

Expecting appeal

Rana District Court believes that overall, proved that man inflicted son the damage that caused his death.

In its judgment the court writes that the experts’ declarations and explanations have been crucial, adding that the man undoubtedly has exposed several of their children to violence over a longer period.

NRK has been in contact with Christian Wiig, who is the man defender. He does not wish to comment on the verdict. Thronæs says he is prepared for that matter appealed.

– I would not be surprised if the convicted anchor judgment because he has not admitted guilt for post one. It is the most serious relationship and drag penalties up.
