Murder
Eithun was convicted of murdering a homosexual man in Lillehammer, Norway on the 21st of August, 1992. The victim was stabbed multiple times with a knife, and the murder occurred in a park that had held the opening ceremonies of the 1994 Winter Olympic Games. (Moynihan and Soderlind, 2003: 111) This was one of the two murders committed from the early Norwegian black metal scene, the other being the murder of Øystein Aarseth by Varg Vikernes. He was released in 2003 after serving 9 years and 4 months of an original 14 year sentence.
