Norway Massacre Suspect Legally Insane
Tue 29 Nov 2011 - 22:48
A psychiatric report on Anders Behring
Breivik found that the confessed gunman is insane and therefore not fit
to stand trial over twin attacks that killed 77 people, Norway's VG
newspaper said Tuesday.
The VG report was published shortly before
Norwegian prosecutors' scheduled news conference to discuss the contents
of the psychiatric evaluation.
The 240-page report, compiled by two psychiatrists, was delivered to the prosecutor's office earlier Tuesday.
"We have no doubt when it comes to our
conclusions," one of the experts, Torgeir Husby, told reporters when the
document was delivered.
The assessment was made after 13 interviews
with Breivik, an interview with his mother and an examination of his
medical history. The experts also reviewed police questioning and video
from the reconstruction of the shooting rampage on Utoya island, the
Dagbladet daily reported.
Breivik, 32, has confessed to carrying out
the July 22 twin attacks. First, he detonated a car bomb outside the
government buildings in central Oslo that house the offices of Prime
Minister Jens Stoltenberg, killing eight people. Then he went on a
shooting spree at a youth camp on Utoya island, killing 69 mostly young
people.
But he refused to plead guilty, saying that
the attacks were "atrocious but necessary" in his campaign against
multiculturalism and Muslims in Europe.
