Liland affair
The Liland affair was a Norwegian murder trial, for the 1969 double murder in Fredrikstad, which gave rise to a miscarriage of justice. It started in December 1969, when two men were found murdered with an axe in the Norwegian town Fredrikstad. In 1970 Per Kristian Liland was convicted for both murders. Already in the same year, the married couple Sten and Vibeke Ekroth started to collect information to the benefit of Liland, and private investigator Tore Sandberg eventually joined the quest to exonerate him. The Supreme Court of Norway rejected a retrial in 1976, but after having served the sentence he was released in 1993 and acquitted by the Eidsivating Court of Appeal in 1994. Liland won a legal battle for monetary compensation in 1995, but died in 1996.
