Two 36-year-old men from Vendsyssel today deny guilt in the murder of Mia Skadhauge Stevn, a 22-year-old woman who is still missing after getting into a vehicle early Sunday morning in Aalborg.
Confirmation of the vehicle’s license plate dramatically led police to the address of one of the suspects yesterday morning.
Searches have been made of the vehicle, the suspects’ addresses, the Reno Nord recycling station in Aalborg, a forest area in Hammer Bakker and the Dronninglund recycling site.
Some of the searches are in progress.

The Folketing relaxes the homework rules
Due to the pandemic-driven increase in the number of people working from home, Parliament has updated its rules. Employees can now use their own equipment as it meets the requirements of the company. If not, the employer must provide equipment. But the initiative provoked criticism from the union HK, where deputy chairman Mads Samsing argued that it would give employers the opportunity to write off office expenses on employees. “Many HK members are not highly paid, and it can be expensive to set up a home office. We do not think it is fair, “he said.
Report: Rising seas must wipe out more than half of Denmark’s dunes and bogs
A new report from the engineering consultancy COWI and the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) on rising water levels reveals that 76 of the country’s 98 municipalities will be affected. At least half of the salt marshes and dunes – breeding grounds for rare birds, amphibians and plants – will disappear over the next 100 years. The researchers behind the report have called for a rewilding of some of the country’s low-lying coastal agricultural areas to create “beach meadows” that could save some of the endangered species.
Not so green anyway? Hybrid car tax exemption under scrutiny
A proposal to re-evaluate tax exemptions on green cars, which is backed by two of the government’s coalition parties – the Unity List and the Socialist People’s Party – has now received extra support from the Radicals. The agreement to lower the tax on green cars, implemented in 2020, caused an increase in sales. However, a recent study of 1,300 Danish plug-in hybrid cars showed that they emit on average twice as much CO2 as the government’s limit for green cars allows. With the Radicals calling for a new way of thinking, the government is now the only one of the original signatories who does not support a revaluation.
