Woman imprisoned for murder near Gjern

A 29-year-old woman was remanded in custody on New Year’s Eve, accused of killing a 42-year-old foreign woman on a property near Gjern.

The 42-year-old woman was found stabbed on Monday morning. After an intensive investigation, the police arrested a 29-year-old foreign woman on Monday evening at 19:50 and charged her with the murder. The woman was arrested in Bøvlingbjerg.

The 29-year-old was presented in a preliminary hearing at the Court in Herning at midday today. The court, held behind closed doors for the sake of the investigation, decided to detain the 29-year-old woman for a period of four weeks.

Police are seeking witnesses who have seen a grey Opel Corsa

As part of the investigation, the police are working to establish the movements of the suspected woman on Monday. The 29-year-old woman was driving a grey Opel Corsa, and the police have already received several good leads after appealing to the public on Monday. However, the police are still eager to hear from more individuals who noticed a grey Opel Corsa from the year 2004 exhibiting suspicious behavior between 10:40 and 19:50 on Monday, December 30 in the mid and west Jutland area. This could include unusual ways of parking, reckless driving, or anything else that stands out from the norm.

“Even small observations that may seem insignificant could be the missing pieces, so if anyone has noticed this car, we ask people to call us at 114,” said Police Commissioner and Chief Investigator Theis Thylstrup from the Central and West Jutland Police.

It has not yet been possible to inform the deceased woman’s relatives. Therefore, Mid and West Jutland Police do not disclose further information about the victim.

Apart from the murder charge, the 29-year-old woman is accused of stealing the grey Opel Corsa and driving without a license. Additional charges may be forthcoming.

The 29-year-old woman denies all charges but accepted the remand in custody.
