The 35-year-old man, sentenced to twelve years in prison for the murder of Linea Bjørnnes, has filed an appeal to the Norwegian Supreme Court. This appeal comes after his conviction was upheld by the Frostating Court of Appeal, where he was found guilty of killing Bjørnnes in December 2024. The appeal documents were submitted on February 12, as noted in a ruling by the Trøndelag District Court, which also extended the man's detention by four weeks.

Linea Bjørnnes, who was 20 years old at the time of her death, lived next door to the accused in a municipal block in Stjørdal. She was discovered lifeless in her home in early December 2024, and authorities pronounced her dead the following day. The ongoing case has drawn attention due to its circumstances and the accused's firm denial of any wrongdoing.

The legal proceedings continue to unfold as the man seeks to overturn his conviction, maintaining his innocence throughout the trial and post-verdict processes. The outcome of the appeal could have significant implications not only for the individual involved but also for the community still grappling with the impact of this tragic incident.
