The man’s defender, Anders Bjørnsen, has previously confirmed that the man has a long history with mental health care. Now he confirms opposite NRK
that his client was admitted to Bredebygden Psychiatric Hospital, a now closed institution in Otta.
– Much of the reason why he came to Otta was probably the treatment at Bredebygden, says Bjørnsen to the national broadcaster.
He believes that it could not possibly have been positive for the accused that Bredebygden Psychiatric Hospital was closed down.
– Seen from the outside, it cannot possibly have been positive for him that it was shut down, says Bjørnsen to NRK.
It was VG
who first reported the matter.
