Title: Four Men Tiltalt for Murder of Lastebils Driver; One Admits to Shooting
Article:
Four men have been charged with the murder of lastebils driver Jonas Aarseth Henriksen, who was shot and killed outside a hut in Nes, Ådal on August 17, 2021. The primary suspect, a 33-year-old man from Noresund, has been charged with planning the murder, while a 29-year-old man from Rena, who shot Henriksen, has been charged with manslaughter. Three others, including the 33-year-old man from Hønefoss who tampered with the murder weapon, and the 31-year-old man from Elverum who drove the shooters to the scene, have also been charged.
The victim’s family and friends expressed shock and grief over the murder. Jonas was known for being open about the harassment and vandalism he faced leading up to his death. Just weeks before the murder, he posted on Facebook about the escalating violence and his fear for his life.
Investigators believe the harassment and vandalism may be connected to the murder. The prosecution expects to present evidence linking the incidents to the killing during the trial.
All four suspects are currently in custody, awaiting trial. The primary suspect’s lawyer has expressed surprise at the charges, stating that his client denied involvement in the planning of the murder during their last meeting.
