Convicted of driving over his own mother: Used the car as a weapon
A man was convicted of attempted murder after deliberately running over his own mother with his car in August of last year. The incident occurred during a police response to a car theft in Skiptvet, Østfold, where a 66-year-old woman was found severely injured. Despite her injuries, she informed the police that her son was driving. She later died from her wounds. During the trial, the defendant denied intent, claiming it was an accident. However, the court rejected this explanation, stating he intentionally used the car as a potential deadly weapon. Evidence included a distress call from the victim to the police, describing her son as intoxicated and having stolen her vehicle. The prosecution argued the evidence strongly indicated premeditation. The court conducted a reconstruction of the scene and reviewed surveillance footage and other recordings. The defendant became emotional during the proceedings and requested to leave the courtroom. His defense attorney expressed disappointment with the verdict and plans to appeal, maintaining it was an unfortunate accident.
Marius Borg Høiby, sønn til kronprinsessens ektemann, har deltatt på et orienteringsmøte med eksperter fra Rikshospitalet for å få en oppfølging om alvorlighetsgraden i kronprinsessens tilstand. Dette bekreftet Høibys forsvarer, Petar Sekulic, overfor NRK. Møtet markerte en viktig moment i en serie hendelser der Høiby har søkt å bli løslatt fra varetektsfengsling for å være nær sin mor, som er syk og står på venteliste for lungetransplantasjon. Høiby har allerede vært i kontakt med familien og har uttrykt ønsket om å være sammen med dem i denne kritiske perioden.
Kronprinsessen, Mette-Marit, har vært i en svært alvorlig tilstand, og det er i denne konteksten at Høiby har søkt å bli løslatt fra fengslingen. De siste to gangene han har besøkt henne i Oslo fengsel har han vært så preget av hendelsene at han har vært redd for å ha sett henne for siste gang. Under et tidligere møte i Oslo tingrett fortalte Høiby at han hadde følt seg redd for å miste henne, og han har derfor bedt om å bli løslatt slik at han kan bo i gutterommet hjemme hos kronprinsparet, der han kan være nære sin mor og søster. Dette har vært en sentral del av hans argumentasjon, samt at det er vondt for alle i familien å være separert i denne situasjonen.
Når det gjelder rettsmessig prosedyre, har Høiby allerede vært i fengsel under varetekt, og det har vært flere forsøk på å få løslatelse. Denne gangen har han søkt å bli løslatt for å være nære sin mor, som har vært i en kritisk tilstand. Det er også viktig å merke at Høiby har vært i kontakt med familien og har vært i stand til å være nære dem, noe som har vært en viktig del av hans motivasjon. Det er også viktig å merke at Høiby har vært i kontakt med spesialister fra Rikshospitalet, noe som har bidraget til hans ønske om å være nære sin mor.
I tillegg til Høibys søker om løslatelse, har det vært en rekke andre hendelser relatert til kronprinsens tilstand. Denne uken har kronprinsen forkortet sitt besøk i Japan for å returnere til Norge, og prinsesse Ingrid Alexandra har også vært i Norge for å være nære sin mor. Det er også viktig å merke at kronprinsens sølvbryllupsfeiring er utsettet på ubestemt tid, og det er også viktig å merke at det er en rekke andre hendelser relatert til kronprinsens tilstand. Det er også viktig å merke at Høiby har vært i kontakt med familien og har vært i stand til å være nære dem, noe som har vært en viktig del av hans motivasjon.
Retten har allerede avslått en tidligere begjæring fra Høiby om å bli løslatt fra fengslingen, men han har fortsatt å søke om løslatelse.
