– Two or three years ago, when he tried to obtain municipal housing, he was informed by the public authorities that he was registered as "non-existent or non-living". It was a shock. Suddenly, it was not recorded anywhere. It just did not exist for the authorities, says the human rights defender, Fridtjof Feydt, at the newspaper.
Renamed name
John Edvin Lie (55), accused of murder and paralysis after finding a person burned in Maridalen on Wednesday, changed his name to Johnny Olsen in 2001.
Then he was also homeless. According to the lawyer, the mother had to meet Lie, at the Folkeregisteret or the municipality of Oslo, to confirm her identity.
On Friday, police officer Pål-Fredrik Hjort Kraby of Oslo District told NTB that Lie was living in the woods of the Maridalen tents.
The police also found the identity of the person and now work to alert his relatives
