Police charge Ethiopian husband with wife's murder in Norway

Police were investigating the murder of a 19-year-old woman whose body was found in a student housing complex in downtown Oslo. Her husband has been charged in the case. The victim's body was found in one of the apartments in the Anker Studentbolig complex in downtown Oslo, just across the Aker River from the popular Grünerløkka district. Police have charged the victim’s 27-year-old husband, and issued warrants for his arrest both in Norway and internationally. He is a citizen of Ethiopia. The 19-year-old woman was a student. She is a Norwegian citizen but has roots in Ethiopia as well. Police withheld many details of the case, but said they found blood in the apartment that quickly led them to believe the woman was murdered. They were first summoned to the complex shortly after 1am, by an acquaintance of the woman. Another woman living in the complex said that the murder, initially referred to as a "suspicious death," didn't surprise her. She said residents have been robbed in the complex "and it stinks of hash in the corridors. People sell drugs right outside." She said she was planning to move.
