Murder trial initiates in the Krýsuvík case
Unraveling the Secrets of Sigurður Fannar Þórisson's Trial
It's the hot topic of conversation: Sigurður Fannar Þórisson's trial. This bloke's been hauled in for allegedly whacking his own daughter, Kolfinna Eldey, near Krýsuvíkurvegur Road in September, and things are getting real.
The Scene in Court
Þórisson made an appearance at the Reykjanes District Court today, where his trial's unfolding. He kept a low profile, hiding his mug from the prying eyes of the media as he shuffled past. But, doesn't matter, nobody's getting a peek inside that courtroom. The trial's taking place behind closed doors, and the press can't exactly waltz in and take a seat.
Behind the Veil
Þórisson's been hit with a charge of murder, accused of dealing out a fatal beating to his daughter, Kolfinna Eldey, on September 15 near Krýsuvíkurvegur Road. To make matters worse, there's more to this story.
Apparently, when the dust settled and the bodies were counted, Þórisson also had some drug-related skeletons in his closet. Police stumbled upon an epic stash of illicit substances, like good old-fashioned coke and MDMA, in his possession. They found this tidy little drug den during a search of a shipping container near Kapelluhraun in Hafnarfjörður on the very same day Kolfinna's body was found[1].
