Investigation Management in Monika case was not only weak, according to the Bureau. It reigns full disagreement over who actually was chief investigator.
There are emerging from the secretive prosecution decision by the Bureau.
Police chief assistant testified that he thinks it is hard to defend all investigative steps in retrospect because he never saw himself as chief investigator in the case.
prosecution decisions: decision with the decision to drop the case against four police employees are exempt from public disclosure by the Bureau.
“Police Superintendent (…) testified that he at no time have regarded himself as chief investigator on the case. No, he informed that he had such a role. He believes that he had no expertise required. “
– opacity in the management
Eight-year-old Monika Sviglinskaja was found dead in her own home in Sund municipality, on November 14, 2011. An experienced investigator was sent from the police in Bergen, who investigated the case with the local police.
Police chief assistant believes this investigator had primary responsibility. The investigator said that his role was to assist, but the actual management lay with the local police.
At the end went investigator into other missions, and were less present in Sund. He even explained that no one took over his duties and that he still was briefed on the development of the local police.
– Several participants in the investigation have experienced lack of clarity around roles, according to the Bureau.
MONIKA: Monika was found dead in their own home, by the mother. She died of asphyxiation, and the police thought at first that she took her own life.
– How is this possible?
Former NCIS investigator John Christian Grøttum mean confusion concerning management can explain several deficiencies in the case.
– How is it possible that not one manager is aware that he has this responsibility? It is he who will go through the case documents and determine what investigative steps to be taken, says Grøttum.
It was the experienced investigator who was going through papers and made decisions at the beginning, according to the Bureau. Grøttum think vagueness can explain what he calls the shortcomings in the investigation.
– The consequence of that, we have certainly seen. That may explain why this case got this outcome, saying Grøttum.
– There is much inherent in the investigation of this case.
Police investigated still
NRK spoke with both the aforementioned police staff and police management in Hordaland. No one wants to comment on the case because it is still under investigation.
Police at Sotra, Helge Spell, says it’s hard to go into the issues that are referenced in a classified prosecution decisions.
– The Bureau has determined that this shall be exempt from public disclosure. Then it will be wrong of us to go out there and express an opinion, says Stave.
Both the investigator and the police officer is acquitted of the Bureau. The case against the police officer was dismissed as “no offense”. The decision was appealed by two parties, and the matter is now under consideration by the Director of Public Prosecutions.
