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 Harma banaslysið og hafa uppfært verkferla Innlent Eldur logar í þaki Kringlunnar Innlent Tveimur haldið sofandi vegna slyssins Innlent Katrín kemur fram í fyrsta sinn frá krabbameinsgreiningu Erlent Festust á hvolfi í hálftíma Erlent Áhyggjur af vanda drengja í menntakerfinu óþarfar Innlent Svandís og Sigurður Ingi sögð bakka upp bílastæðagjöldin Innlent Guðni snýr aftur í sagnfræðina Innlent Of snemmt að kenna bikblæðingum um Innlent Þyrlan kölluð út vegna reiðslyss Innlent
