(AFTENPOSTEN) — A body found floating in the harbour at Fredrikshavn, at the tip of northern Denmark, is believed to be that of a man suspected of murdering his young wife in Oslo early last week.

Police in Norway had issued an international warrant for the arrest of Kassa Yafet Gerbrewold, age 27. He disappeared after the body of his 19-year-old wife was found in the Anker student housing complex where they lived in Oslo.

The young woman had been stabbed to death, and her family had appealed for her husband to report to police. Instead he’s believed to have fled Norway on the cruise-ferry Stena Saga Sunday evening June 22.

A body was found floating near the North Quay 39 in Fredrikshavn Wednesday morning, reported Danish TV2. Police in Oslo were informed of the discovery, reported VG Nett.

Police in Oslo wouldn’t initially comment, though, saying the body hadn’t been formally identified. A spokesman said the Oslo police were working closely with their Danish counterparts to identify the body.

  1. The Guy committed double crime. Very sad, He couldnt look the world behind her. He fished once and realised the fish was dead, but coudnt realize that ther were many fish in the ocean.
    The lady was 100% untrusted and even she didnt hide it. Becouse she is living and integrated in the country where many ladies overnight outdoors while housband are baby seater at home. For what so ever reason she donot deserve to be killed.
    The point is what we learn from them???

  2. The killer was a wll known supporter of the woyanne regime.
    The Norwegian daily newspaper has written about his close association with the regime citing various sources in the Ethiopian community in Norway. It is widely rumoured that he began going to the church to get hold on the girl and get a residence permit in Norway. He stopped going to the church after their marriage. As the supporter of a brutal orgnization like the TPLF, many in Norway are not surprized over his murder of the girl. The women should be aware of such risks when considering any relationship with the members and supporters of the TPLF.

  3. It is hard to say this and that. Killing can not be justified in any way. Nonetheless, these diaspora women need to understand that Ethiopian diaspora men are also human beings. Doing the worst thing a wife can do for her husband is not acceptable either. There is just a simple way to averse such risks, just get divorce! No need of trying to have it in so many ways. If not, …

  4. Dear Tesfa Lidet dont relate things to Woyane. I know the guy very well while we were working together and he was very inactive in every thing let alone politics except teaching his students. I bet 80% of the staff might not know him as he was very reserved. I dont know you diasspora people relate everything with politics.
    Bastards, why he then suside?

  5. We know that the members and supporters of TPLF in Norway are in grief over the loss of this person. The number of woyannes is increasing in Norway and we have lately known that they are seeking asylum as Eritreans. The Eritrean community in Norway is aware of this woyanne cheating and is contacting the Norwegian Immigration Authorities. The agents of the TPLF should not be allowed to misuse the asylum system.

  6. You see folks, everything is not so simple. First some people were explaining the rising tragedies of some diaspora Ethiopian couples as being lack of mutual trust, lack of equal and mutual respect, lack of satisfying relationships both in beds and out of beds, etc.

    Most of these are based on narrow personal experiences or partly sheer speculation.

    Now comes in the political dimension which is a very important aspect too. The truth of the matter is that the desperate TPLF minority dictator will use any and everything as its arsenal of warfare to keep Ethiopians hads and legs firmily chained and kept as Wayane slaves.

    No wonder that the desperate minority mass killers are also sending evil international agent infiltrators inorder to divide and destroy poor diaspora Ethiopians just like those poor Ethiopian young people Wayane Ag’azis cold bloodedly slaughtered on the streets of Addis Ababab.

    Why are such tragedies rising? Reasons may be multiple but the most dangerous one is that of the Aga’azi agent infiltrators!

  7. what an awful shame? what is going on with Ethiopian and Eritrean males? lately there are a lot of reports about these males killing the females. it gives a very bad publicity to all. But it is nothing to do with poletics at all.people do not try to use it for your own political agenda. there are poeople losing their lives here. please respect them in this awful time.

  8. I don’t have any dought from what he did that he is Like those barbaric TPLF. the reason why i said this is he can’t compromise with other peoples and want to impose his only interest on others like all primitive woyanes. He has been in the cave with them or he has a family that has been indoctrinated by the barbaric TPLF. He deserve to rotten in the water no matter what he can’t take some body’s right let alone taking others life. They may do it in addis but not there where there is law.It is becoming evident that life is getting very hard to every woyane dissident in the civilised world because they can’t integret with the mainstream culture like respecting law and living in harmony and working.

  9. I don’t know how some of you would tie his action to the Ethiopian/TPLF regim. This guy just like any one of us had a feeling and was hurt very badly by his wife. If she was playing behind his back,with total disregard to her safety and his respect, well some times there is a price to be paid for our action on others.Killing her was totaly wrong,
    but just like her cheating on him had no boundrie,why would you want to limit his reaction to limited punishment only.

  10. I am realy sorry for what happend to those coupls .May God protect as from such evilish thing .may they rest in peace. Please my people you need to fight the evil by praying ,and may God help us to love and care for each other .

  11. Its sad to see that some of you are using the tragic deaths of two young people to promote your political agendas. When it is far from anything to do with politics. And I knew both of them very well, and for the record, he was an opposer of tplf…
