Norwegian mass murderer killed 77 people

Norwegian mass murderer used computer wargames to plan attacks that killed 77 people last summer. Judges returned to an Oslo court, after a short break, on Thursday (April 19) to hear mass killer Anders Behring Breivik s testimony on events in the summer of 2006 right up to the moment he massacred 77 people in July last year. The Norwegian anti-Islamic fanatic Anders Behring Breivik told the court in the morning that he used computer games to prepare for his attacks and spent a whole year playing the game for hours on end. Breivik said he spent "lots of time" playing Modern Warfare, a first-person shooting game, and also took an entire yearoff to play World of Warcraft, a multi-player role-playing game with more than 10 million subscribers. Breivik started testifying on Tuesday (April 17) and the prosecution has moved forwards chronologically, covering 33-year-old Breivik s adult life - his career, interests and possible contacts. On Friday (April 20), the prosecutors will focus on what happened after the bombing, when Breivik drove to the youth camp on Utoeya - an island in a lake 40 km (25 miles) outside the capital - and gunned down dozens of victims as police took more than an hour to get to the island in the chaos following the bomb blast. While he will probably be kept behind bars for the rest of his life, Breivik s main objective is to prove he is sane, a court judgement that he thinks would vindicate his anti-Muslim and anti-immigration cause. An initial psychiatric evaluation concluded that Breivik was criminally insane while a second, completed in the past week, found no evidence of psychosis. He has said being labelled insane would be a "fate worse than death". The trial is set to last ten weeks, and a verdict is expected in mid-July.
