“Get out of here,” Beth Kristin Johannessen roared.

He grabbed the phone and dialed 112. Johannessen frantically tried to explain what had happened. In response, the police did not conduct free patrols in Karmøy.

On Thursday night, Johannessen had her biggest nightmare.

Past Carmoy News who first mentioned the problem.

– I thought my life was over

It was a bit windy that night, Johannessen said. The family of five lives in a house in Årka, which is located in Karmøy, at the end of a housing estate.

But tonight he is home alone. He’s happy about it now.

– I don’t dare to think what could have happened.

Johannessen stayed up late for work. At about half past one he turned off the light and went to bed. Suddenly he was awakened by a thud. It sounded as if a window had been slammed shut during a high wind. That may have a natural explanation, says Johannessen.

But then he heard more sounds of someone walking.

– Now I have to stop messing around, I thought.

But the steps are getting closer.

Johannessen now understood that this wasn’t just something in his head.

– I thought my life was over. It goes really fast.

Johannessen got out of bed and looked through the slightly ajar door. He could see out into the hall. There was someone wearing a dark hoodie heading into the nursery.

Johannessen roared with all his might.

Tonight he forgot to lock the patio door.

The man got scared and ran out of the house. He chased to confirm this. Then he sat and waited. After 20 minutes, a patrol arrived from Haugesund.

– It’s taking too long. Then the person walked away.

There is an Ipad and PC on the kitchen table. But he took nothing. The man went straight into the bedroom, which had a picture of children on its door, and a doll pram was standing outside.

– What he wants? Why my house? he asked.

There must be help

The next day, Johannessen contacted urgent mental health care. He struggled to sleep, was afraid of the dark and didn’t feel safe in his own home.

– It’s not going well. Shocked body. I need help getting through this. That this would happen has always been my biggest nightmare.

He was told by the crisis team that no one has the right to enter the house, even if the door is unlocked.

The last few days have been tough, says Johannessen. He struggled the most at night. During the day, he tries to keep his mask on.

– I won’t let him win over me.

Visiting ban

Thor’s police attorney Kåre Buberg said that one person had been charged in the case. The person was questioned by police on Monday.

– He was given a restraining order after interrogation, which he accepted. The victim had been informed of this, police prosecutors said.

The police are continuing to develop their investigation into the case. Beyond that, police cannot comment further on the case, Buberg said.
