Rahavy Varatharajan, a dentist of Sri Lankan origin was killed on Tuesday, January 2 night.
“Our dear Rahavy was brutally taken from us on Monday (1) January 2024. She was strong, caring and fun-loving – she was whole”.
This is how the survivors describe Rahavy Varatharajan. It is the family itself that discloses the identity through a legal aid lawyer Pirashanty Sivabalachandran.
On the night of Tuesday, the 30-year-old was found shot and killed in a car near the hospital in Elverum. In the same car, a man in his 30s was found badly injured by gunshot wounds. He is accused of having killed the woman.
He later died in hospital from his injuries. Both the murdered and the deceased man had residential addresses in Oslo.
Rahavy completed dental studies in Oslo, and was very happy in his job, according to family.
The survivors say that she described her workplace as the best place she could have worked. According to the police, the murdered woman and the deceased man are said to have had a short-term relationship about a year ago.
In April last year, the man was banned from visiting the woman. The man’s ban was originally supposed to apply for six months. Later it was extended to apply for a further year.
Thus, the 32-year-old man had a restraining order against the woman until the end of October 2024. A total of ten cases have been opened against the man for breaching the restraining order against Rahavy, Oslo Police District informs. Nine of the cases concerned the period from the beginning of May to the beginning of August. In addition, he is said to have broken the ban a further time in December.
The weapon that has been seized is a revolver, the origin of which we have not yet been able to trace.
This is confirmed by Inspector Henning Klauseie in the Innlandet police district. He says the police have also seized mobile phones and a laptop that were in the car where the two were found.
In short, the autopsy report shows that both died from gunshot wounds, says Henning Klauseie to NRK on Thursday evening. Police want to review the reports internally before saying more.
