On March 28, NRK published a story about the boys who were accused of the murder of Silje Marie Redergård in Trondheim in 1994, and who are now coming forward, according to multiple reports. The relatives of Silje were not notified about the story before it was published, as reported by major media outlets. NRK apologizes for this, and for the additional burden it caused for the family, according to those same sources.
It remains unclear what specific consequences the boys faced after being accused and cleared, or why NRK did not notify the relatives before publishing the story. The details of the boys' stories have not been fully disclosed, and how the family responded to NRK's apology is not publicly known. Whether there are any legal or ethical repercussions for NRK's actions is also uncertain at this time.
