Sverrisdóttir took this as a threat against her life, but the case was investigated and subsequently dropped by Reykjavík police, who apparently saw no reason to believe Sverrisdóttir's life was threatened. While Sverrisdóttir will not comment on the matter, she did indicate that it could be possible for her to take the case to the state attorney's office. - pfn News News in English Mest lesið Enn skjálftahrina við Trölladyngju Innlent Prestur sakar oddvita um ólýðræðislega hallarbyltingu í veiðifélagi Innlent Sólrún fundin á Spáni Innlent Stoppaður af vegfaranda sem spurði: „Hvað er þetta?“ Innlent Ekkert spurst til Sólrúnar á Spáni í nokkra daga Innlent Vaktin: Eldgos hafið nærri Grindavík Innlent Tólf mánaða fangelsi fyrir að bera sig og áreita börn Innlent Lést í umferðarslysi við Álfabakka Innlent Segir borgstjórn ekki bjóða neinar lausnir - bara óvissu Innlent Snorri sagður spúa hatri og trumpísku yfir heimsbyggðina Innlent
