I could almost figure out that it had something with the police action in the whole country to do, he says.
He tells that he has several times talked with the woman, who lives in the raided apartment in Husum.
– I’ve talked before with her, when we encountered each other. But I could feel that she was beginning to change. She was not as interested in talking with me, as she was in the past, he says of the woman, who wore a suit, where only the eyes were visible.
two years ago, there came suddenly two civilbetjente and asked him if he had noticed the woman’s comings and goings.
– well I had noticed that her curtains were often rolled for, but I have never felt threatened by her, she has always been sweet and very articulate.
Also in Aalborg conducted police searches. Anna Skjøtt Rissgaard living in the vicinity:
– We were very uninformed, and it was difficult to find out what it was that was going on. That held two civilian cars and a police van, but there were no police officers, one could ask about what was going on, when they were all inside the house.
I must admit, I was a little nervous, for there had before been a voldtægtsovergreb in the same building.
It took not very long time. It lasted probably accumulated an hour, but I saw not those who were brought out of the building.
