Høiby Admits Slap And Chokehold: “I Was Completely Beside Myself,” Court Told
9 min•7 mars 2026
The fifth week of the trial of Marius Borg Høiby ended with dramatic testimony about the violent confrontation on August 4, 2024 — the incident that triggered the police investigation and the sweeping indictment now before the Oslo court.
Taking the stand, Høiby disputed parts of the Frogner woman’s account but admitted key elements of the fight. “I remember that I slapped her,” he told the court. “And I remember that I took her by the throat.” He acknowledged shouting insults, smashing items in the apartment and sending a threatening message to a man he believed she had been with.
The court also heard that Høiby made at least 172 calls to the woman despite a restraining order and even sent a Valentine’s Day letter through a friend while the trial was already underway. He blamed alcohol and cocaine for some of the night’s events, telling the court that recordings from the confrontation made him sound “completely rabid.”
By the end of the week the court had worked through much of the timeline involving the Frogner woman — testimony prosecutors say illustrates a pattern of escalating conflict, violence and harassment.
