Norwegian prosecutors said on 1 October that they would seek four more weeks of remand detention for Marius Borg Høiby under electronic monitoring at his home in Skaugum. His existing court order allows detention until 5 October. Høiby has consented to the proposed extension, which is expected to be dealt with in writing. [2] [3] [4]

The prosecution cites a continuing risk of further offending. Høiby's lawyer, Alexander Greaker, confirmed his consent and said Høiby considered the police's proposed conditions for release unreasonable, preferring to continue the current arrangement. [3]

Oslo District Court sentenced Høiby to four years in prison in June, convicting him of two rape offences and abuse in a close relationship while acquitting him of two other rape charges. His appeal against those convictions is scheduled to begin on 9 February 2027. [5] [6] [8]
