Breivik case in Norway to come to an end

  • 12 years ago
Anders Behrin Breivik, Norways worst mass killer who took the lives of 77 people in July last year, crossed to the island of Utoya by ferry, and while he waited he had a conversation with youth leader Simen Braenden Mortensen. The guilt that comes with knowing what happened next has been difficult for him to bear, but Friday's verdict and sentencing will help. For 10 weeks, the Oslo Courthouse heard extraordinary, harrowing evidence of how Breivik first blew up Oslo's government quarter, then murdered 69 mainly teenagers with chilling remorselessness. Breivik himself gave evidence, not just about the killings, but about his motives. His defence lawyer believes justice will be done. Al Jazeera's Paul Brennan reports from Norway.
