- Silje Marie Redergård (26 June 1989 – 15 October 1994) was a 5-year-old Norwegian girl who allegedly was killed by two boys in the suburb of Rosten at Tiller near Trondheim on 15 October 1994. The boys, aged five and six, were claimed to have beaten, kicked, stoned, and stripped Redergård naked, leaving her in the snow to die of hypothermia. The boys were directed to undergo psychological evaluation, as Norwegian law did not allow the punishment of minors under the age of 15. The names of the boys were not publicly released. In 2021, the crime underwent new research. In 1994, police never followed up on the claims reported by the 5-year-old and the 6-year-old, that the girl had been killed by rampant teenage boys, even though the children’s statements matched what had also been observed and reported by separate witnesses. Police ignored these witness reports matching the children's own statements. The Kripos-expert Per Angell has explained that the prints of children's boots in the snow could not be connected to the 3 small boys who were found to have caused Redergård's death, and that no forensic evidence existed to connect them to her death. Police officer Asbjørn Rachlew points out that police interrogated the small boys in a fashion that made the boys change their explanations under pressure and over time. In addition, no research was undertaken regarding fingerprints, clothes fibres, patterns on bootprints on her body and in the snow, or other forensic issues. A TV-production in 4 parts by NRK has gone through the missing research and mistakes in the case, classing it a miscarriage of justice. The crime was initially believed to be of a sexually abusive-parental nature, as Redergård's clothes were removed, and her body was found close to her family's home. Redergård's parents were told who the culprits were by the mother of the boys who committed the crime, before the police found out. There is no fully known motive for the killing, although one of the boys told a detective that "We beat her till she stopped crying" during the initial investigation, perhaps explaining a partial reason for why they would beat her to death. On 18 October 1994, pay television channel TV3 suspended airing of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, amid debate regarding the impact of fictionalised violence in television programming aimed at children. Gro Harlem Brundtland, Norway's Prime Minister at the time, commented that "Norwegians should think twice before allowing such 'free market' violence to be broadcast by commercial networks." Both boys were ordered to regularly meet with child protective services, and to undergo counseling until they turned 18. One of the boys has suffered with drug addiction and homelessness, allegedly due in some part to his role in the killing. The case has been compared to the murder of James Bulger, which took place in the United Kingdom twenty months earlier. (en)

Los niños, de cinco y seis años, la golpearon, apedrearon y desnudaron dejándola inconsciente en la nieve para que muriera de hipotermia. Los niños solo fueron evaluados psicológicamente, ya que la ley noruega no permitía el castigo penal a personas menores de 15 años. Los nombres de los niños no fueron publicados. El caso ha sido comparado con el asesinato de James Bulger, ocurrido en Reino Unido veinte meses antes. Su cuerpo descansa en el Cementerio de Tiller en Trondheim. (es)
- Siljefallet (norska: Silje-saken) inträffade den 15 oktober 1994 då den 5-åriga flickan Silje Marie Redergård i Tiller utanför Trondheim i Norge menats ha blivit slagen, sparkad och stenad av tre pojkar på 4, 5 respektive 6 år. Pojkarna skulle ha klätt av henne naken och lämnat henne i snön, där hon frös ihjäl. Pojkarna fick genomgå psykologisk utvärdering, då Norges lagstiftning inte tillät bestraffning av personer under 15 år. I november 2021 publicerades en ny, granskande tv-serie av SVT i samarbete med NRK. I serien uttalar sig ett flertal experter om fallets förundersökning, bland annat experter inom psykologi och rättsmedicin. Samtliga uttrycker stark kritik till hur förhör av de misstänkta barnen varit utformade, att nyckelvittnen inte förhörts, att potentiellt bevismaterial inte analyserats och även till fastställandet av Siljes dödsorsak. Ett av huvudproblemen i förundersökningen var att polisen fick de misstänkta barnen att erkänna mordet och även anordna en presskonferens där fallet uppgavs löst i ett mycket tidigt skede. Först efter detta fick polisen in uppgifter om ett alternativt händelseförlopp med andra potentiella gärningsmän, just denna dokumentation har dock försvunnit från förundersökningen. Polisman och förhörsexpert Asbjørn Rachlew har i samband med produktion av serien granskat förundersökningen och därefter rekommenderat riksåklagare att ta upp fallet i ny prövning. Slutsatsen i fallet har orsakat svåra konsekvenser för de barn som bedömts skyldiga, minst två av dem blev ofrivilligt placerade i familjehem och minst ett av barnen blev själv utsatt för våldsamma övergrepp. (sv)
