Death of Silje Redergård
Silje Marie Redergård was a Norwegian girl who was killed by two boys in the village of Rosten near Trondheim on 15 October 1994. The boys, aged five and six, beat, kicked, stoned and stripped Redergård naked, leaving her in the snow to die of hypothermia. The boys were directed to undergo psychological evaluation, as Norwegian law did not allow the punishment of persons under the age of 15. The names of the boys were not publicly released.
The case has been compared to the murder of James Bulger, which took place in the United Kingdom twenty months earlier.
