Brit traveller faces 21 years behind bars after chef was brutally stabbed to death at fireworks display
A BRITISH traveller has been charged with the knife murder of a chef.
Craig Harris, 20, faces up to 21 years in jail.
He was arrested in the early hours of New Year’s Day after Kjetil Osthus was stabbed as he set off fireworks near his house in Haugesund, Norway.
Harris, from Oxford, was visiting his pal Rune Torresdal, 23 — charged with being an accessory.
Police are said to be examining knives found at Torresdal’s apartment.
Both he and Harris are said to be known to cops for drugs offences.
Mr Osthus, 28, worked for star chef Geir Skeie.
Harris, who denies he was at the scene, is in custody in Stavanger.
Benedicte Storhaug, a lawyer representing the victim’s family, said: “The murder appears completely meaningless, without any rational motive.”
