Alleged contract killers face retrial: A story weirder than a movie has yet to have an epilogue

A jury failed to reach a verdict in the trial of Johannes Kongsnes Natland, a 19-year-old Norwegian footballer accused of being hired by a criminal group linked to Iran to carry out an assassination in England. Natland allegedly agreed to kill an unknown target for £21,500 but was arrested in a hotel in West Yorkshire after police found weapons and ammunition. He admitted to possessing firearms but denied involvement in the plot, claiming he intended to shoot himself in the foot to escape the situation. The jury deadlocked after 14 hours and 43 minutes of deliberation, leading to a request for

Porota nije uspela da donese presudu na suđenju navodnom plaćenom ubici iz Norveške, optuženom da je doputovao u Englesku kako bi izvršio ubistvo po nalogu međunarodne kriminalne grupe koju podržava Iran .

Talentovani fudbaler Johanes Kongsnes Natland (19) navodno je u martu prošle godine dogovorio sa bandom Švedske lisice da za 25.000 evra (21.500 funti) upuca nepoznatu metu .

Dva dana nakon što je doputovao u Veliku Britaniju letom iz svog rodnog Stavangera, naoružana policija upala je i uhapsila ga u hotelu u Hadersfildu, u Zapadnom Jorkširu, i zaplenila dva pištolja i 12 metaka, javlja dpa .

Natland je priznao posedovanje vatrenog oružja i municije, ali negira zaveru za ubistvo, tvrdeći da je planirao da puca sebi u stopalo kako bi se izvukao iz "nezgodne situacije" .

Porotnici su se u utorak ujutru povukli kako bi razmatrali presudu, a sudija Lavander im je u četvrtak dao uputstvo da mogu doneti odluku i većinom glasova.

Nešto pre 15 časova, viši sudija raspustio je porotu nakon što nije uspela da donese presudu, posle 14 sati i 43 minuta većanja .

Tužilac Alister Ričardson rekao je da će tužilaštvo tražiti ponovno suđenje, a Natland je zadržan u pritvoru.
