Eiríkur Valberg from the central investigation department of the Reykjavik police reports that they are making significant progress in the investigation into the Edition case, which had been sent back by the district prosecutor for further inquiry.
Eiríkur Valberg, a representative of the central investigation department of the Reykjavik police, indicated that the police are well underway with the investigation into the Edition case. Approximately half a month ago, the district prosecutor returned the case to the police for additional investigation due to some unresolved issues. Valberg noted that the police aim to return the case to the prosecutor as soon as possible, demonstrating their urgency in resolving the matter.
He mentioned that some of the loose ends of the investigation are dependent on external data, which suggests that the resolution of these issues may not solely rest on the police's actions. However, he has refrained from disclosing specific details regarding what these unresolved aspects entail. The investigation has gained attention due to its sensitive nature, stemming from the tragic discovery of a French couple found deceased in their hotel room at the Edition hotel along the harbor in Reykjavik on June 14 of last year.
The emphasis on resolving these loose ends highlights both the complexity of the investigation and the police's commitment to addressing public concerns about the case. The outcome of this investigation carries significant implications for the safety perceptions in Reykjavik and could impact future tourism and local sentiments about the region's hospitality industry.
