Without the Apple ID and Password of the original owner, you will never be able to use this phone. Activation Lock is a theft prevention feature. Since the person you bought it from refuses to help, it is probably a stolen device. We cannot help you and Apple will not. Turn it over to the police or recycle it at an Apple Store.
