Tistedalen Murders
The Tistedalen Murders occurred in 1991 and 1992 in Norway. Four people were killed by Roger Herbert Haglund in the space of one year. Crimes On 3 September 1991, the siblings Aase Helene and Arne Odvar Nordby, aged 78 and 74, were murdered by multiple stab wounds across their bodies and then were robbed in their home in Tistedalen. In spite of a massive and prolonged criminal investigation, which included the arrests of two innocent persons, the case seemed destined to remain unsolved. There were few clues and no eyewitnesses. A few days previous to the crime however, the siblings had become concerned when they came across an unknown man in their garden. It was dark and they had been unable to recognize the man, who claimed to be looking for a dog. One year later, on 1 September 1992, a 71-year-old pensioner in Tistedalen, Per Rød, was hit in the jaw with an iron bar, then stabbed to death and dumped in a compost pile in his garden. He was reported missing, but the police were una ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
