The athletics coach Gjert Ingebrigtsen is on trial, suspected of assault and abuse against his son, the athletics star Jakob Ingebrigtsen. He denies the criminal charges.

Two weeks ago, the mother Tone Ingebrigtsen testified in the trial, refusing to give her version with the press attending.

Now, the defense attorney for the Ingebrigtsen children, Mette Yvonne Larsen, tells about what was stated in the testimony.

She said that there has been no violence in her home and denied any violent incident. She rejected the accusations against her husband and gave him full support in his version of the case, says Larsen to Aftenposten.

She said that several specific events that her children have told about or claim to have been involved in do not match, continues Larsen.

Gjert Ingebrigtsen's defense attorney John Christian Elden does not want to say anything about the mother's testimony.

We respect Tone's wishes and do not contribute to spreading an explanation behind closed doors, he says to Dagbladet.
