The abuse of a man in his 40’s took place at a desolate farm in Fjaler in
Sunnfjord in February of 2002.
The victim received cuts in his head, nose and mouth. In addition, his teeth
were damaged and he got a fracture in his nasal bone as a result of the
abuse.
According to VG, the victim explained during police questioning that the
abuse ended with a ritual act where «Gaahl» collected blood from him and
drank it.
The court case against the 28-year-old man will start in Sunnfjord’s county
court next week. According to the Norwegian paper Bergens Tidende, Christian
Eckhoff, the man’s lawyer, his client is going to plea not guilty.
The 28-year-old has a record and been convicted previously, among other
things for unlawful wounding of a man from Høyanger.
Gorgoroth received media attention in February after getting into trouble
with Polish police after a performance in Polish television where the band
among other things used the image of a crucified woman, 50 sheep heads on
spears and 100 litres of blood in the show.
