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 Albert mættur í dómsal Innlent Skilur ekkert í niðurstöðu Guðrúnar Innlent Helgi í Góu og fyrrverandi borguðu brúsann Innlent Svarar fyrir að hafa banað syni sínum í Kópavogi Innlent Talinn hafa svipt barn frelsi sem hann grunaði um að stela veipi Innlent Gerði sér mat úr kattaráti andlega veikrar konu Erlent „Lærisveinn“ Pélicot sagður hafa beitt sömu aðferðum á eigin konu Erlent „Fólk fer hreinlega grátandi frá mér“ Innlent Sigurður Helgi Guðjónsson látinn Innlent Silja Björk biður Ingó afsökunar Innlent
