They were brought in for questioning during the night, morning hours, and day. Then they were arrested throughout the afternoon, says Morten Gunneng, officer in charge at the police.

The men, who are 30 years old and upwards, are reasonably suspected, the lower of two suspicion levels.

The alarm about the burning car came just before midnight on Christmas Eve. The body was found after the extinguishing of the car had begun, but the person had not been identified by Christmas Day evening.

No, the identification is not clear. We have an idea of who it is, but there is a huge difference between that and an identification. It will take some time, says Gunneng.

The police have carried out house searches that have led to the arrests. Technical investigations are still ongoing at several locations.

Our technicians have been working almost non-stop since last night with some short breaks, says Gunneng.
