New TV 2 program to solve the murder of the fly – Dagbladet.no

(Dagbladet): With open phone lines for tips hope TV2 on live clarification of unresolved issues. Norway’s most experienced kill investigator gets a central role.

– In unresolved issues there is always someone who knows what has happened, and it is these we hope will make contact during transmission, says Jens Christian Nørve.

From January, the seasoned crime reporter presenter for the new live TV2 initiative “Crime scene Norway.”

“Crime scene Norway” shall take up a wide range of unresolved issues from across the country, both killings, violence and other types of crime.

At the same time the program’s reporters also confront wanted Norwegians living in hiding abroad, giving viewers insight into how police investigations taking place in practice and go out with inquiries.

Will resolve matters

During the hour-long live the magazine hope TV2 getting into details that could lead to elucidation of some of the cases they take up . – There are also some of the reason why we are sending directly. While we send viewers can call in and choose whether to speak to the police or the editors, and towards the end of the shipment, we can summarize what we have gotten into the exciting details. Can we help the police solve a case, we are satisfied, says Nørve Dagbladet.

Criminal magazine is shaped in the same vein as “Brottsplats Sweden” on Swedish TV4. The Swedish sister program in several cases have received tips that led police investigations continue.

– In Sweden, the total of three such crime programs, so it is obvious that the interest is out there. Many of their inquiries has also resulted in the apprehension, said Nørve.

Although he mentions “garage murder”, in Oslo in 2008 as a case he often works with. A 45-year-old man was charged with knife murder of Elaine Bjerck, but the case ended as one of very few Norwegian murder cases in acquittal in 2012.

Expert Panel

In the studio gets morphed using a panel experts from different sides of the legal system.

Former police inspector Hanne Kristin Rohde and defense lawyer John Christian Elden contributing insights from their field of expertise, while one of Norway’s most experienced homicide investigators are involved in both research and direct broadcasting.

Retired NCIS investigator Asbjørn Hansen has helped to clear up between 30 and 40 murders and led including investigation of the triple murder of Orderud farm.

– I have often thought that there might be a need for a program like this. We can hopefully be helpful for police and conducting public education on how the police work, perhaps especially in the cases that initially seem simple, says Hansen.

One unsolved murder

Of the murder cases Hansen worked with, only the much-publicized murder of Trude Espås that have remained unsolved. Espås was reported missing and later found raped and murdered in Geiranger in 1996.

– I do not decide which individual cases we take up, but for me it would have been optimal to help solve one of those case that I’ve worked so much with. It’s an issue I still think of, and an extra effort to solve it, I had welcomed with open arms, says the retired detective.

Also Hanne Kristin Rohde looks forward to contributing.

– We’re going to take up some issues, so for me it is important that the program does not obscure any investigation. I have faith that TV2 handle well. I think the concept of live broadcast is exciting, and believe it may help to enable some observations from viewers they might even not completely aware that they sit on, says Rohde.

Also critical light

Defense lawyer John Christian Elden explains that a desire for enlightenment lured him to participate.

– Often ropes it hanging as soon as a person is arrested and then this can be good adult time in criminal cases. My job will be plenty else to be the opponent in the panel, it asks whether the case can actually be said to be solved, says Elden.

Considering press ethics and protection of sources laws presenter Nørve watertight bulkheads between the tips coming in to the police and reported to the newsroom. “Crime scene Norway” shall also be an arena where police work can be criticized.

– If we bump into cases where the police have not done their job well enough, we will of course also illuminate this. And it might well be that such issues arise, says Nørve.

Program Director Jarle neck in TV2 are convinced about the initiative.

– We are proud of our very strong and experienced expert team and are confident that together with Jens Christian Nørve should help viewers with new insight and understanding, said neck.
