Admission of guilt by one hunterfactual
One of the hunters has admitted he shot the female bear.
According to NRK NordlandEarlier in police interrogations, one of the six suspects admitted the crime, but during the trial's first day it became clear that all six now deny the crime.
According to SVT JämtlandsnyttContext: This contradiction affects the credibility of the defendants' statements and the strength of the prosecution's case. If one hunter admitted earlier but later denied, it may indicate a change in strategy or coercion.
