A man in his thirties, one of the suspects in a double murder case in Karmøy, Norway, denies guilt but is cooperating with the police during the investigation.

The investigation into a double murder in Kopervik, Karmøy, has seen one suspect, a man in his thirties, maintain his innocence regarding the charges. The man was implicated following the discovery of two deceased individuals on Saturday, prompting a swift police investigation. His attorney, Odd Arild Helland, reported that the suspect remained composed but was visibly affected by the situation.
