Questions about accountability for murder accused 15-year-old – ABC News

The prosecution believes 15-year-old who is charged with murder, planned to kill anyone. In the indictment that is taken out against the girl shows that Attorney Erik Forde believes the murder of the 30 year old environmental worker was premeditated.

The trial starts in Asker and Bærum District Court Monday. The trial will be held behind closed doors in the interests of the girl’s young age, but the press will have the opportunity to follow the trial from an adjacent room where audio and video from the courtroom is transmitted.



– Complicated ratings

The accused girl had just crossed the border for the age of criminal responsibility when the murder was committed last October. She had already served several years in an institution and received psychiatric treatment, but child psychiatrist and physician Hans Ole Korsgaard, psychologist Roger Lindqvist and psychiatrist Harald Brauer who has studied teen, stated that she was sane when the murder was committed.

– To become familiar unaccountable must be psychotic, something the experts have said she was not. But you can be pretty sick even if they are not psychotic. But it is very complicated medical assessments, and we have not closed the door on the issue of accountability, says 15-year-old lawyer, Cecilie Nakstad, said.



Unique case

The defender describes the case as very special. It is rare for children to kill in Norway and the prosecution as well as alerts possible allegation of detention to protect society for future risk has never happened to anyone under 18 years before.

In addition to the murder is 15-year-old also charged with two further conditions. After the murder she tried first to take the firearm to a police officer and in March this year to have the peel into a prison.

In July last year, two and a half months before the murder had police with shields, pepper spray overpower girl on Small Entities in Asker after she had threatened an employee with a machete. This will also be discussed during the trial, although she is not charged with anything in this connection.

The history of girl is marked by several serious incidents of violence, the first stems from the time before childcare and psychiatry came into picture, wrote VG Saturday.

Refuse Overlay

15-year-old has admitted manslaughter, but not murder, as she is now charged with.

– We believe we have evidence that this was premeditated, that this was a deliberate act. Why do we get further into the matter, said Attorney Erik Forde NTB earlier this week.

According to the indictment occurred the murder of the 30 year old environmental worker when she was alone with 15-year-old at night to 28. October. Under the pretext that she would freshen night watchman hair, put Anna Kristin Gillebo Backlund his back and between the legs of 15-year-old. When she was first strangled with a belt and then dragged into the living room where she was stabbed a total of 21 times.

The girl’s parents are divorced, but both are appointed as guardians. Only danger is notified as a witness in court, which also girl’s brother will. (© NTB)
