Three lead investigators in the Lørenskog case have resigned from the case. The eastern police district said it was natural to have a surrogate in the lengthy investigation.

In July wrote Romerikes Blado that prosecutor Gjermund Hanssen in the Lørenskog case has resigned from his position in the Eastern police district.

wednesday morning post VG that also two investigative leaders Børge Rønning from the Eastern police district and Frode Lier from Kripos, as well as police attorney Jane Lundstadsveen, have stopped or will stop their work in the Lørenskog case.

Neither of them will comment on the case, but according to VG, the change was due to professional disagreements with management in the Eastern police district.

– In the investigation that lasted for several years, it was very natural for personnel to move. The case will have a new public prosecutor from the fall. Until further notice, Hanssen remains chief prosecutor, Frode Larsen, police inspector and head of the joint unit for intelligence and investigations in the Eastern police district, told VG.

– Hard to move on

The communications department at Polres Timur told NTB that they had no further comment on the case other than what they had provided to VG.

It has been almost four years since Anne-Elisabeth Hagen disappeared from her home in Sloraveien on October 31, 2018. Her husband Tom Hagen has been charged with murder or involvement in murder. In addition, another man was charged with grave involvement in the deprivation of liberty. Both deny criminal responsibility.

New series: – Big load

Public prosecutor Monica Krag Pettersen has overall professional responsibility for the investigation of the Lørenskog case.

– I register that Gjermund Hanssen and others in the investigative group have resigned from their positions. “It is unfortunate that this ended during the ongoing investigation, but I, as the state prosecutor, assume that the Eastern Police District ensures a good transition and continuity on the side of the investigation,” he said.
