– It is important that we talk with our children and young people about what the infringing movies and pictures are, and that they need to be deleted and never be shared further, if you get them sent to you. Both because it is illegal to share, but also because it has terrible consequences for the victims and their families, says the head of the Rigspolitiets National Forebyggelsescenter Tenna Wilbert.

the Victims were randomly selected. According to investigators, they were not out to kill the Norwegian or Danish tourists specifically, but they were there to kill the tourists, said police spokesman Boubker Sabik.
The two women were attacked in their tent by four men, who subsequently shared a video of the killings on the net. The perpetrators said they carried out pursued for the Islamic State, but it rejected the moroccan police.
– They were lone wolves, which decided to carry out the attack, said the spokesman.
after the killings have been held memorials for the two women in both Norway and Denmark., just like the case has been referred to by prime minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen and has gained attention the world over.
Norwegian police informs in a press release, that they have examined more than 400 inquiries about the drabsvideoen. In response to this they have tried to get the video taken down from various forums and have been in contact with individuals.
