Tortured farm worker left hanging for hours

First Reported by:  Morten Wengstad






He is believed to have been left hanging with his hands and feet bound for eight to ten hours, during which time he suffered serious muscular injuries.

Before being placed in an induced coma, the victim told police he had received a visit from two men at around midnight at his home on the farm where he has worked for several years.

Later on Saturday, two Lithuanian men were taken in for questioning after police arrested them in nearby Namsos for the possession of contraband goods.

“We thought it was natural to check up on them both after what happened in Nærøy, but there is nothing to suggest they had any involvement with the case,” police investigator Bengt Blom told broadcaster NRK.

The torture victim meanwhile has undergone a series of operations at St. Olav’s hospital in Trondheim. Hospital staff have indicated that he may be fit to speak to police about his ordeal on Wednesday.

Police investigator Hans-Petter Gjertsås said the culprits could face charges of attempted murder if caught.

“It’s evident that leaving somebody in this way could lead to death if the person in question doesn’t get help,” he told newspaper Adresseavisen.
