👀 Witnesses

Police are actively seeking witnesses in connection with a murder that occurred on Sunday. This development comes as investigators continue their work into the fatal incident. Separately, the stalking trial involving Iris Helga Jónatansdóttir saw emotional testimony in court, with witnesses describing fear and turmoil. A judge reportedly intervened during questioning of a witness by Iris Helga's lawyer. In political news, a new Gallup poll shows significant gains for the Center Party, while the Social Democratic Alliance remains the largest party. The People's Party, however, polled below the threshold for parliamentary representation. Guðmundur Ingi Guðbrandsson, vice-chair of the Left-Green Movement, was reportedly intercepted by masked men in a van, and Stefán Vagn Stefánsson, a Member of Parliament for the Progressive Party, made a statement emphasizing the seriousness of an unspecified matter.
