Three of the four people charged after the illegal cave party in Oslo have been named defenders.
The Oslo Police District announces this in a press release.
The fourth defendant wanted a lawyer other than the designated one, but the Oslo District Court has not yet designated who it will be.
– I do not understand
Lawyer Bendik Falch-Koslung tells TV 2 that his client does not understand why he is being accused and that the client believes that he has not played a role that makes him naturally admit his guilt.
– Like everyone else, he thinks it’s tragic that everything has gone as it did. I had no such thoughts beforehand, the defender tells TV 2.
Attorney Jan Erik Teigum defends one of the accused.
– I don’t want to comment on the accusation, Teigum tells Dagbladet.
Nor will he comment on whether an interrogation of his client is planned and whether the client admits guilt or not.
Katrine Holter, who is defending one of the other defendants, doesn’t want that either.
– At the moment we do not want to comment on the case, he tells Dagbladet.
Expanded charges
Already the day after the party, two people, said to have played an organizing role, were charged after the cave party.
This week, two more people were charged, they are also said to have played an organizing role.
Supervisor Warning: – No Antidote
The charges were also extended, the Oslo police told VG.
All four are charged with negligence for causing significant damage to the body or health, violation of the Communicable Diseases Law, and unauthorized access and stay in the bunker.
27 to the hospital
It was the night before Sunday August 30 that a random police patrol discovered the illegal party in the cave.
All emergency services went to the Collettsgate bunker in St. Hanshaugen and found several of the party participants unconscious. Some had to be carried out during the evacuation.
A total of 27 people were taken to the hospital after being poisoned with carbon monoxide. Two units kept the sound and lighting systems alive. The party co-organizers have explained to Dagbladet and other outlets that the units were placed in a room and sealed, but the seal must have been broken by other party participants.
Then large amounts of dangerous carbon monoxide (carbon monoxide) leaked into the bunker rooms where the party was held.
Five seriously injured after party in the cave
Up to 200 participants
Police have previously estimated that there may be as many as 200 people in total who attended the party.
The accident could have been fatal, Dag Jacobsen at the Oslo University Hospital emergency department told NRK last week.
At the same time, the hospital stated that the party participants who were still hospitalized received treatment for brain damage.
Jacobsen then went on to say that “the episode could have been Norway’s worst peacetime accident.”
