Danish man posthumously charged in Norway case

A deceased Danish man and a 19-year-old Norwegian woman, who were a couple, were found dead in an apartment in Bergen, Norway, leading to the man being formally charged with murder by the Norwegian police. The police have not disclosed the reasons for the charge beyond stating that discoveries prompted the action. They are investigating the possibility of murder-suicide. Relatives have been notified, and police were alerted by a family member concerned after days without contact. Forensic technicians worked on the scene, and investigations also involve examining digital devices and interviewing family and neighbors. The Norwegian police are collaborating with Danish police, and the man’s lawyer has stated the charge ensures his rights during the investigation, without further detail.
