The Norwegian suspect in the murder of a Polish woman and child abduction in Oświęcim, Ingebrigt G. (surname not given as per Polish law), is already in Poland after being extradited from Denmark, Oświęcim deputy district prosecutor Mariusz Słomka announced on Friday.
The man was handed over by Denmark to the Polish side on Thursday evening.
“He has been transported to Poland. We will carry out all actions, including bringing the charges forward, without undue delay. It is now a matter of providing a Norwegian interpreter and appropriate transport. The actions will be carried out (…) within the time limit set by the court in the temporary arrest, i.e. 14 days after the Norwegian was taken over by Poland,” Mariusz Słomka said.
The 26-year-old will hear charges of murdering a woman and abducting a child.
Cold-blooded murder
The 26-year-old woman was found dead by her father in a flat in Oświęcim, southern Poland, at the beginning of November. However, her daughter and the girl’s father were not present at the scene.
At that time Polish services began pursuing the man as the main suspect. The Kraków district court issued a European Arrest Warrant (EAW) for the Norwegian and a Child Alert was issued. After a few hours, Danish officers stopped the man on a motorway in Copenhagen. He was driving a Volkswagen with Oświęcim registration numbers, with 5-year-old Mia in the back seat.
Autopsy results confirmed that the 26-year-old woman from Oświęcim died as a result of sustained wounds and subsequent blood loss.
Temporary custody of the child was granted to Mia’s grandfather by a decision of an Oświęcim court.
On December 21, the district court in Copenhagen agreed to extradite the Norwegian to Poland.
