According to local reports, the teen allegedly sent photographs from inside the home to classmates using WhatsApp after the attack.
One student who claimed to have seen the images described a disturbing scene.
"You could see both of her parents lying on the ground with their eyes open. Her father was lying on the floor, and her mother was on the bed. There was blood visible and a knife," the student claimed, per the Telegraaf.
Authorities have not publicly commented on the content of the alleged images. However, police reportedly urged members of the public not to share graphic photographs online and instead report them to law enforcement.
Students Recall Her Behavior
Relatives of the victims said they 'can hardly comprehend' the tragedy as the investigation continues.
As news of the case spread, classmates began speaking publicly about the teen's behavior at school.
Several students alleged she identified with a dog persona and frequently incorporated it into her appearance and mannerisms.
"She wore a tail, dog ears, and gloves," one classmate said. "And sometimes she would make barking sounds."
Other students reportedly claimed they had seen her crawling on all fours in school corridors alongside friends.
Relatives Struggle to Process Tragedy
In a statement released through an aid organization, relatives and friends of Johan and Mathilda said they are still trying to come to terms with the deaths.
"We can hardly comprehend" the killings, the family said.
"We hope that everyone understands that we are deeply affected by the tragic events surrounding the passing of Johan and Mathilda from Meerstad," the statement continued. "But the support and sympathy we have received from many do us good and are heartwarming."
