Marius Borg Høiby Kept in Custody as Oslo Trial Turns to New Witness Accounts

Witness testimony from influencers and relatives now portrays a pattern of control, threats, violence.

Overview

  • Oslo authorities confirmed Høiby remains in pre-trial detention after a recent re-arrest, with a contact ban against an ex-partner extended to September and the trial scheduled to run to March 19.
  • Influencers Anniken Jørgensen and Ida Broen testified that Høiby was intensely jealous and controlling, with Broen describing a 2023 incident where he pushed Nora Haukland against a refrigerator after a dispute over cocaine use.
  • Friend Danby Choi told the court that Haukland’s accusation of Høiby cheating was “100 percent” correct, describing a toxic relationship marked by jealousy and phone checks.
  • Haukland’s mother recounted her daughter’s fear and property damage she linked to Høiby’s anger, citing a bathroom wall plate and door handle left broken after an August 2022 stay in Alta, which the stepfather also noted.
  • Høiby acknowledged having a long-standing anger problem; his defense showed revealing Instagram posts to argue Haukland sought publicity, while his claim of a lucrative Netflix deal for her was flatly denied by her manager.
