Personal life

In 1993, his son, Eyjolfur (then 17) was sentenced to life imprisonment for shooting and murdering a legal clerk with a sawn-off shotgun during a robbery at a newsagent's when he handed over 26p.[1] However, in 2001, his sentence was reduced due to forgiveness from the victim's family and good progress he'd made in prison, making him eligible for parole the following year.[2]
