A 45-year-old Vietnamese cut off his legs and one hand in protest against a 21 year jail sentence for double murder. Now he demands compensation.

The Vietnamese demands millions in compensation because the jail did not take better care of him.


A 34-year-old Vietnamese woman and her 10-year-old son were found killed in an apartment at Kaldnes outside T�nsberg in January 1997.

The woman and her son had most likely been dead since New Year�s Eve. Both of them were brutally murdered by several stabs to the neck region.

The suspicion fell upon the 45-year-old shortly thereafter, suspected of killing his ex-wife and stepson.

The Vietnamese was moved to Ila prison. Without any warning the man managed to cut off both of his legs and one of his hands with a hydraulic shear at the workshop.

The 45-year-old�s lawyer, Olav Stake from T�nsberg, said to TV 2 Nettavisen that his client has always denied connection to the double murders.

�My client has sued the government for a larger million amount, connected to the losses he will suffer when he is done with his sentence and is going to try to live a normal life again. He claims the officers at Ila prison should have watched him better, so that he could not have cut of his legs and one of his hands.�
