Defendants brought before judge

The defendants in the murder case were brought before a judge this afternoon.

Five people remain in custody, suspected of involvement in a homicide and an attempted extortion on Tuesday night.

The first defendant was brought before the judge this afternoon. Police have requested a one-week detention order, which the judge will decide on later today.

After that, the other defendants will be brought before the judge, and it is expected that further detention orders will be requested.

The individuals are linked to the same bait-and-attack group that assaulted a man in his fifties in Akranes in January.
