He wants to go to jail and we want him to go to jail.

15.39 The defence expectedly sidesteps the question as to whether they
find him sane or not. He adds that Breivik is:

…pleased when a new statement was issued concluding that he was sane, so
that there were two reports with opposite conclusions and he state that he
is satisfied that he will be given the opportunity to testify in court and
there is a lot of interest in the case.

15.35 Mr Lippestad says Breivik up until recently wasn’t really
concerned if he was rendered legally sane or insane, but after the
psychiatric reports, he apparently concluded it was important for him to be
concluded sane.

15.34 Asked why Breivik cried, Geir Lippestad, the defence lawyer, who
is giving his own press conference now, said:

He answered us but I don’t think I should divulge information from client
conversations. But from overall point of view part of the explanation may be
that he committed these acts he characterised as atrocious but necessary to
prevent war in Europe.

15.25 The prosecution is holding a post-court press conference
reviewing the day’s events.

When asked if there is a “particular desire for revenge in this case”,
they reply no, they are trying to treat it like any other ordinary
proceedings.

They refused to comment on his facial expressions in the court, and said they
would revisit that during closing statements.

On Breivik’s statement, due to be read tomorrow, the prosecution said it had
no strong feelings about it. They also deny that they have decided whether
he is criminally sane or not.

14.34 We’ll close today’s court hearing with thoughts from David
Blair, our chief foreign correspondent, and Richard Orange on
what has been an utterly compelling first day in court for Breivik.

This must have been the first time in history that a killer was made to
watch the destruction he caused on TV, over and over again. The CCTV footage
of the bomb blast was repeated from all available angles, showing people
being cast down amid clouds of debris. The composure of Breivik’s defence
lawyer slipped as the sequences were shown. By the end, even the killer
looked like a man struggling to maintain his self control.

An opening hearing that many Norwegian had said would be taken up with dry
procedural turned out unexpectedly dramatic. But Breivik himself emerged
from the prosecution’s portrayal as more a sad fantasist, albeit one who
committed terrible acts, than as the warrior activist that he attempts to
portray.

14.17 And that’s it for the day.. bit of an abrupt end. They will
reconvene tomorrow morning with Breivik’s statement, according to judge Wenche
Elisabeth Arntzen.

Crucially in the closing statement, they said Breivik wishes to be sentenced
as a “legally sane” person. He is once again led out in
handcuffs, presumably so he doesn’t do any closed-fist Nazi-style salutes.

14.13 Lippestad would call witnesses to determine if Breivik is the
sole holder of the view he presents in his statement, or if there are other
subcultures who hold such views.

He wants the right to request extra time to demand a postponement and call
further witnesses as a result of large amount of additional evidence
received as late as Friday

14.07 Time for the defence to speak. Lawyer Geir Lippestad says
Breivik will invoke self defence and will expand on that in the coming days.

Another issue is “legal sanity”. There are, remember, two reports on
Breivik – one which labels him sane, and another insane.

Lippestad says Breivik has a “basic right” and a “human right”
to give a statement. It is also the “most important piece of evidence”
that will be given to the court, which will help them decide whether he is
sane.

He also says Breivik wants to use a written document to give evidence
tomorrow, which will apparently take 30 minutes to read aloud.

13.59 The prosecutor has confirmed he will call Breivik’s mother Wenche
Behring as a witness, a move many Norwegian commentators had not
expected. Breivik told police in interviews that his greatest fear was that
she would be called.

I just hope that my mother is not there… She is the only one who can make me
emotionally unstable. She is my Achilles’ heel.

_{Breivik with his half sister Elisabeth and mother Wenche}

13.52 Close to 150 people are expected to testify in the course of the
trial, as mapped
out in our earlier piece on what to expect.

13.45 The court is back in session. Prosecution is detailing what is
going to happen in the court case in the next couple of weeks, namely the
witnesses expected to be called.

13.42 Our Tech department has written about the popular
online computer game World of Warcraft, which Breivik spent a year
playing “full time” between 2006 and 2007.

Unlike many other video games, there is no set “end” to World of
Warcraft. As with other MMORPGs, players continue to attempt new challenges
and fight against other gamers online. A number of expansions to the
original game have been released, so there are always extra tasks for
players to complete.

Since its launch in 2004, World of Warcraft has acquired a reputation as
one of the world’s most addictive computer games, after a number of
high-profile incidents.

A 15 year-old Swedish boy had convulsions after playing for 24 hours
straight in 2009, and last year an American mother was sentenced to 25 years
in prison after her three year-old daughter died from malnutrition while she
played the game for hours on end.

13.25 Haven’t had a chance to link this yet as the trial rhetoric has
been moving quite a pace, but since we’re on a break, Richard Orange
has written
a news summary of the morning’s proceedings, detailing why Breivik
was “moved to tears”.

By the time the prosecution finished outlining those killed on the island
of Utoya, where Breivik carried out a massacre at a labour party youth camp,
the list had become a harrowing medical litany, with each accounts ending
with the kill-shot to the head Breivik dealt out to no fewer than 54 of his
victims.

13.18 Breivik was arrested at approximately 6.34pm. They show what
appears to be a new picture of him, complete with wet suit and fake police
badge, shortly after his arrest.

The court has now adjourned for a 20-minute break. Breivik is handcuffed again
as the court rises.

13.10 The court reads out Breivik’s second call to police in which he
says he has “just performed an operation on behalf of Knight Templar.

My name Anders Behring Breivik. I am a commander of the Norweigain resistance
movement. Please could you give me the head of Delta…Yes, I am at Utoya, I
am a person who wishes to surrender. Knights Templar is the name of the
organisation but we are part of the anti-communist movement.

I have just carried out an operation on behalf of Knights Templar Europe
and Norway

Breivik smiles broadly when he first hears the call, then suddenly frowns and
looks thoughtful.

13.08 Despite phoning the police to offer his surrender, he continued
to killed at least another 22 people.

13.02 As the narrative goes, before 17.57, Breivik returns to the cafe,
and brings with him a mobile telephone he found. At approx 18.00 he speaks
to the police for the first time. The court is played an audio of his call
in which he said: “I wish to surrender.” Breivik sits
impassively in court.

We have the recording of the phone call from when it was originally leaked to
the press.

12.50 The prosecutor goes into detail on Breivik’s actions on Utoya.
What is clear is how quickly he moved taking down his victims.

At 17.21 the first shots were fired, when he killed three – Trond Berntsen,
Monica Elisabeth Bosei and Rune Havdal. Two minutes later he killed another
three, and at 17.25 he killed two people south of the cafe. He then shot
another seven, all in the tent, camp.

At 17.30, nine minutes after the first shots, he entered the cafe.

_{A victim of the Oslo blast and an aerial shot of Utoya Island}

12.48 The court is played an horrific recording of a girl on the phone
ot emergency services. Richard Orange says the court could hear her sobbing
in panic as the shots got closer and closer. According to Richard, her name
is Renate Tårnes, who was 22 at the time. She survived the
ordeal. He boyfriend was killed on the island.

“He’s inside he’s inside,” she whimpers, terrified. “I can hear the
shots. I’m in the toilet, I’ve locked myself in a booth. There’s someone
shooting, walking around shooting. Yes, there’s silence, he’s just outside.
He’s coming, he’s coming. Quickly.”

12.42 Police have also made a visualisation of the course of events on
Utoya.

12.38 The prosecutor is now breaking down Breivik’s journey from Oslo
to Utoya. Utoya is about 500m long, 300m wide. He details how Brevik was
disguised as a police officer and after the carnage in Oslo, insisted he get
on to the island.

There were 560 people on the island when Breivik arrived. Richard Orange says
there is just a hint of a smile from Breivik as the prosecutor outlined how
he called the ferry for a trip.

The prosecutor is now showing a video taken by a helicopter on the day of the
attack.

12.28 Richard Orange, who saw the CCTV footage of the explosions, adds:

Somehow the absence of any sound to the CCTV recordings makes the images of
devastation all the more affecting.

12.27 The court sees an interactive map of the explosions, with red and
yellow dots placed around the Government buildings.

12.20

12.16 Richard Orange and David Blair both describe the footage, deemed
too distressing to be shown in full:

Four CCTV screens now, showing eery sped-up imagery of ordinary citizens going
about their day around the van, which we know is about to leave many of them
badly injured, and eight dead.

The explosions goes off, leaving the square littered with papers and
rubble.

Terrible footage of the bomb blast has just been shown, so distressing
that it could not be broadcast and still images were also banned. Over and
over again, the explosion was shown from different angles. Lamposts are bent
double by the detonation, clouds of rubble and wreckage fly in all
directions. Some people take cover, others stand dazed and transfixed. Some
just run.

^{Photos relating to the case are projected onto a screen in the courtroom

12.12 Richard Orange reports:

Screen in court now showing CCTV footage Breivik’s van driving through Oslo
to the government quarter and parking under the tower that houses the Prime
Minister’s office.

Breivik leaves the van parked and slowly walks down the streets of Oslo,
dressed in what appears to be a fireman’s uniform.

Breivik climbs into a parked 4X4 car, and drives away.

12.10 Again, he fails to conceal a smirk before looking around the room
in a somewhat bored manner.

12.09 The court sees an animated video of Breivik‘s movements,
beginning in a van then moving on foot where he is represented by a red dot.
From this point on, there is a ban on broadcasting the remainder of the
video.

Breivik is fiddling with his tie as he watches, a blank expression on
his face.

^{ODD ANDERSEN/AFP/Getty Images}

12.08 The court will break for a moment to allow people who do not wish
to see the footage to leave the room.

12.06 His movements are documented by CCTV footage, the court hears.

12.05 Breivik sent an email to “a number of addresses” with a
word file attachment of his manifesto, the court hears. Of the 8,000
addresses he attempted to send to, less than 1,000 arrived.

12.00 The court has now reconvened for the afternoon session. The
prosecution will continue with their opening.

11.49 A profile of Breivik can be found here:

Anders Behring Breivik came across as your average guy but behind his
courteous exterior lurked one of history’s most gruesome killers, fuelled by
a hatred of multiculturalism and Islam.

11.41 The indictment can be read in full here

11.06 Richard Orange, who was able to see the whole video, reports:

Breivik’s trailer for his revolution consists of a disconnected series of
images and cartoons drawn from the internet, making his case for a war
against multiculturalism and Islam.

The most chilling sequence comes towards the end after he introduces the
Knights Templars who will save Europe.

First comes an image of a Knight Templar in crusader clothes, his sword
raised above his head, about to strike a killer blow, then an image of
Breivik in a wetsuit, aiming an assault rifle at the camera.

“Before we can start our crusade, we must do our duty decimating
cultural marxism,” a message reads, alluding to Breivik’s brutal
intentions.

11.00 The 12-minute-long video has now finished and the court will
break for lunch. There is, of course, a one-hour time difference between the
court in Norway and the UK.

10.59 Breivik is shedding tears as he watches his own video.

David Blair reports:

Breivik finally shows real emotion, apparently moved to tears by his
12-minute Youtube film on the supposed “Cultural Marxist”
onslaught on Europe. This outlines the alleged threat to western
civilisation, before hailing past heroes, including Vlad the Impaler. It was
when he appeared that Breivik broke down.

10.45 The court will now see Breivik‘s movie trailer for “Knights
Templar 2083”, but the cameras in the court room are to be switched
off. Richard Orange says journalists are anticipating some graphic
imagery.

10.39 Richard Orange reports:

Breivik gave a slight smirk or grimace as he perused the diagrams of the
bomb he made, on the evidence document in front of him. He’s listening
intently now, and looking at the pictures of his bomb-making preparations
projected onto the screen, and then back to his notes. The bomb killed eight
people, and injured 209.

10.38 A video of Breivik‘s first few words in court is now
available:

10.35

10.29 The court sees a drawing made by Breivik for the police,
detailing the explosives he intended to use in the attack

10.20 Breivik tries to suppress a smile as he sees a picture of himself
in uniform

10.17 David Blair adds:

We are now looking at a picture of Breivik’s bedroom. If you were asked to
imagine the bedroom of a psychotic fantasist, you would picture a tiny
garret, just big enough for a bed, a computer, some garish artwork and an
absurdly oversized safe on the floor.

Breivik’s bedroom is a tiny garret, just big enough for a bed, a computer,
some garish artwork and an absurdly oversized safe on the floor.

If you were asked how an unemployed, psychotic fantasist would fill his
many empty hours, you would predict that he would submerge himself in some
wantonly violent, virtual reality computer game.

Breivik mastered all 85 levels of “World of Warcraft”.”

10.16 Richard Orange reports:

It seems as if Svein Holden is suggesting a link between Breivik’s
fantastical ideas to his absorption in World of Warcraft, a multi-player
game. He projects a still from World of Warcraft, with a character called “Justicar
Andersnordic”, suggesting a clear parallel between his character in the
game, and Breivik’s belief that he is a member of the Knights Justiciar, a
secret anti-Islamic movement.

As if to underline Breivik’s sad withdrawn life before his attacks, Mr
Holden is showing a photo of Breivik’s bedroom, where, he says Breivik spent
a year playing World of Warcraft “full-time”, living off his
savings.

10.08 Breivik played extensively on World of Warcraft, with one period
where he played full time for about a year, the court hears.

10.07 Richard Orange comments:

Breivik appears more focused now, staring at Svein Holden as he details
his early history of business failure, minor tax fraud, and money
laundering. He’s now moving onto Breivik’s involvement in the freemason
movement.

10.04 Richard Orange says:

Prosecutor Svein Holden appears to be starting by seeking to undermine
Breivik’s grandiose idea of himself, detailing his lowly initial career in
telephone sales, and the failures of the three companies he set up in the
early 2000s, followed by his founding of a more successful business selling
fake diplomas.

David Blair adds:

It turns out that Breivik is an ex-telephone salesman and “customer
service” adviser. He also sold fake diplomas over the internet. The
profits allowed him finally to stop living with his mum.

9.57 Richard Orange reports:

The prosecutor is starting the Breivik’s most fantastical claim, that he is
part of a secret organisation dedicated to combatting Islam.

“There is one subject, in particular that stands out,” Svein
Holden said. “Namely that Breivik claims he became a member of the
Knights Templar in London at a meeting in April 2002.”

“In our opinion, no such network exists as the one Breivik has
described,” he added.

9.55 The prosecutor has said the opening statement will last up to four
hours.

^{(REUTERS/Fabrizio Bensch)}

9.54 Judge Wenche Elizabeth Arntzen has warned that some of the film
footage to be shown on video is too shocking to be broadcast outside the
courtoom, and instructed the prosectutors to warn TV cameras in advance.

“The time has come for me to give you an insight into what happened on
the 22 July,” says prosecutor Svein Holden.

Breivik will be answering on “Incidents that are quite far back in
time”, so will ask about five different periods in his life.

9.50 Court has resumed.

9.38 People in the court room go over to Breivik as the court breaks to
shake his hand; David Blair has explained they are his defence
lawyers and psychiatrists.

Richard Oliver confirms it is a Norwegian convention. Olav Ronneberg,
a reporter for Norway’s state television station, told him:

They always shake hands in a Norwegian courtroom.Whether you’re a murderer, a
robber, or a rapist, they always shake hands.

9.35
Here is a video of Breivik speaking at the beginning of the
trial:

9.33

9.31 David Blair says:

We have now heard Breivik’s defence: he “acknowledges” the “acts”,
but says that he carried them out in “self defence”. He apparently
shot a 17-year-old girl six times as she sat in a cafe in “self defence”.
Silje Merete Fjellbu was his 12th victim.

9.27 Richard Orange explains:

The prosecutors are still beginning the trial calling for Breivik to be
transferred to compulsory mental health treatment, not prison, despite a new
psychiatrists report last week ruling him sane enough to be criminally
responsible.

But they reserve the right to make a submission to have this changed to a
call for a prison sentence, based on information that comes up in the trial.

9.26 The court is now taking a short, 20-minute break

9.21 Breivik has pleaded not guilty and says he did it in “self-defence”.
“I acknowledge the acts but I do not plead guilty,” he says.

9.20 The long list of victims concludes, after nearly an hour of
reading.

David Blair, in court for the Telegraph, reports:

After a solid 51 minutes, the list of Breivik’s victims has been read out
in full. I didn’t know there were so many ways in which to injure or kill a
human being. Through it all, Breivik remained impassive, apparently
following the list of the dead and wounded, just like everyone else in
court. He has now looked up, apparently bored.

9.19 Breivik shuts his eyes as the list of victims continues.

9.18

9.17

9.13 Richard Orange says:

The four forensic psychiatrists who have submitted reports on Breivik’s
sanity are positioned between Breivik and the prosecution, to scrutinise his
reactions throughout the ten-week trial.

The two psychiatrists who judged in November that Breivik was insane and
could not be held responsible, Torgeir Husby and Synne Soerheim, appear to
be studying Breivik’s face somewhat more intently than Agnar Aspaas and
Terje Toerrisen, who judged him sane last week.

Their evidence will be crucial in determining whether Breivik faces his
future in a jail or a mental institution.

9.07 David Blair adds:

An appalling litany of horror is being detailed as the prosecutor goes
through the list of Breivik’s victims. But there is something unreal about
this. The prosecutor just reads it all out in a flat, impassive voice while
people in the court shuffle their papers, play with their blackberries and
fiddle with their hair. In other words, they behave as if they’re listening
to an airport announcement. As one particularly horrifying killing was
detailed, the two lawyers behind the prosecutor thought that was the right
moment for a quick chat. If I was related to any of these victims, I would
be furious.

9.03 The long list of victims is understandably proving difficult for
many to hear:

8.54 Richard Orange notes:

The court has spent £1.6m for court security, which has been contracted out
to Britain’s G4S. Police with assault rifles, a rare sight in normally
peaceful Oslo, were also positioned outside the courtroom.

8.50

8.47 David Blair continues to report on Breivik‘s bizarre
behaviour:

The list of Breivik’s victims is being read out. The killer is slouched in
his chair, apparently indifferent. But I’ve just realised that he’s
following the same list of the dead that I’m looking at on the indictment.
Occasionally, he nods as if remembering how he shot a particular person. He
looks like he’s running a finger down a shopping list and checking off the
items he bought. One of the most brazen displays of callousness I’ve ever
seen.

8.46 In a similar vein, Norway’s leading tabloid “Dagbladet”
has included a special button on its website
today, so that users weary of the trial, can read an alternative site
with no coverage.

8.40 The hashtag #Breivik has already become a top trending
topic on Twitter, with commentators divided in their opinion of the
trial. Some argue he should not be given the opportunity to publicise with
views, while other believe it is a triumph for open Norwegian justice.

8.36

8.34 The court is still hearing details of the young victims with
details of their injuries.

Richard Orange comments:

The list of 69 victims from the island of Utoya and their injuries is
building up into a horrifying medical litany, most ending with the shot to
the head that was Breivik’s final blow. Of those who died on Utoya, 56 died
from kill-shots to the head. Breivik remains almost stationary, occasionally
scratching his face, his eyes averted from the journalists and bereaved in
front of him.

8.31

8.28 David Blair says:

The list of Breivik’s victims is now being read out. As Breivik looks on
nonchalantly, the horrifying toll of injuries he inflicted is detailed. One
51-year-old woman who happened to be on the 10th floor of H block was
mutilated by a “30cm long thick wooden splinter” which “penetrated
her left ear”. Breivik indifferently pours himself a glass of water.

8.25 Reports are now coming in from victims of the attack, who spoke to
the Telegraph team before entering the courtroom earlier this
morning.

Bjorn Ihler, 20, who survived Breivik on Utoya by swimming out
into the sea, said he felt the need to follow the case and hoped it would
help him to move on.

He told Richard Orange:

It’s going to be difficult, no question about that.

I don’t think it’s possible to emotionally prepare for this case in any
way, except for expecting the fact that there are going to things that I’m
not prepared for.

I think he [Breivik] should be treated in the same way as any other
prisoner in Norway would. I think it’s important to preserve the values we
had before this happened. I don’t want to give him the powers to change my
views on the way the legal system should work. That’s very important to me.”

Christian Bjelland, whose 15-year-old son was on Utoya but survived,
said she hoped the court would not allow Breivik a podium.

Nobody wants to give him a microphone for his political views. Most of us
expect him to try, but we are quite sure that the judge will stop him.”

8.24 Richard Orange said five survivors and 113 journalists are placed
in the central courtroom, which Norway has spent £10.5m building specially
for the case.

The first day will be taken up with prosecutor Svein Holden outlining his case
against Breivik. He is expected to illustrate the severity of the crimes
with videos, photos and recordings from victims on Utoya caught when people
on the island dialled the emergency services.

8.20 The prosecutor continues to read out a list of Breivik’s 77
victims.

David Blair reports:

All this is taking place a stone’s throw from where his car bomb went off
on 22 July. The court is right next to “H” block, housing the
prime minister’s office, where Brevik detonated 950 kg of explosives packed
inside a volkswagen. Nine months later, the building is still sealed off and
abandoned.

8.17 Richard Orange says:

Breivik looks completely impassive, as the list of the victims who died in
the bombing of Oslo government quarters, what their injuries and direct
causes of death were, just looking down at his notes.

Photographers have now been asked to leave the building.

8.16 Breivik is charged with “having committed a terrorist
act…bringing out an explosion where loss of human life or damage to
property of others could be caused.”

Aggravating circumstances include “destabilising society” and “seriously
intimidating a population,” the court hears.

The court has also heard the beginning of a harrowing list of the 77 victims.

8.14

8.13 The Telegraph’s David Blair reports:

A remarkable display of insolence from Breivik. “I do not recognise
the Norwegian courts,” he said within minutes of the opening of his
trial. Calmly addressing the judge, he added: “You have your mandate
from political parties who support multiculturalism.” He added that “furthermore,
it is well known” that the judge is a personal friend of the sister of
a former Norwegian prime minister.

Minutes later, Breivik stood up again to confirm his date of birth and that
he was currently in prison. The judge said: “And you are unemployed?”

Breivik fired back: “That is not correct. I am a writer and I work
from prison.”

Strutting, arrogant, self-important and enjoying every minute.

8.12 The judge has asked Breivik to stand and requested his name and
age. “Are you unemployed?” she asks.

“That’s not correct,” said Breivik. “I am a writer
and I work from prison”.

8.10 Richard Orange reports:

“I do not accept your authority in this case,” said Breivik. “You’ve
gotten your political mandate from forces that support multiculturalism.”

He said she was friends with the sister of Gro Harlem Brundtland; a former
labour leader.

“We are not raising any formal objection, its just information. I am
just notifying you that I don’t recognise the court,” he went on.

8.05 Breivik speaks to say he does not recognise the authority of the
Norwegian court.

“We will make a note of that general objection”, says the judge

8.03 The Telegraph’s Richard Orange reports:

Breivik entered courtroom, and shook hands calmly with others on the bench,
perhaps the psychiatrists, perhaps his defence team, impossible to see.

He looked pasty, his face slightly bloated and sporting an under-chin
beard.

Judge Wenche Behring has started with introduction…

8.01 According to Sky News, Breivik made a far-right salute as he
arrived at the court room

8.00 The judges have taken their position and the trial can begin. “The
court is now in session”, it is announced.

7.57 Breivik is now sitting in court, smartly dressed in a black suit
and light metallic brown tie.

7.45 Here
is what to expect over the next 10 weeks. Breivik’s fate will be
decided by a panel of five judges, comprising of two professionals and three
lay judges.

Breivik’s defence lawyer is Geir Lippestad.

More than 770 survivors and families of the victims are to be represented by
162 lawyers. Around 150 people are expected ot testify.

Breivik himself is expected to testify over the course of the next few days.

Key will be whether the judges find Breivik sane or not. Two psychiatric
reports have been submitted, one which found him insane, and the other sane.
It is up to the judges’ discretion to decide.

A verdict is expected in mid-July with a majority vote by three of the five
judges needed.

7.30 Breivik has admitted the killings, but according to leaked
reports, he plans to argue he should be acquitted as he committed the act in
self defence. He has
reportedly been banned from reading a “new manifesto” when
he stands to give testimony.

One of the more remarkable aspects of Breivik’s actions in July was the 1,500-page
manifesto he posted online which revealed plans for the norway
massacre under the pseudonym Andrew Berwick. It can
be read in full.

7.26 Our picture desk has put together a slideshow
of the terrorist attacks and the aftermath. Arguably the most
chilling photos are of Breivik walking police through his massacre.

_{Shackled Breivik relives the moment he opened fire on Utoya island}

7.22 For those of you who want a refresher, we’ve done a summary of
what happened on July 22, the
worst terrorist atrocity in peacetime Europe.

The massacre started with an explosion in Oslo and finished with the
slaughter of dozens of teenagers at a youth camp on the isolated island of
Utoya. The final death toll was 77.

There were 68 people shot dead in Utoya and eight killed in the blast in
Oslo…

As Norwegians feared secondary blasts in the aftermath of the Oslo bombing,
teenagers at a Labour Party youth camp were being indiscriminately gunned
down on the isolated island of Utoya, a short car ride from the Norwegian
capital.

Dressed as a policeman, Breivik beckoned teenagers towards him with cries
of “you’re safe” before mowing them down in a shower of bullets. To others
he laughed as he said “you all must die”.

In his killing manifesto, which he says took him three years to write,
Breivik said he would be listening to the song Lux Aeterna by Clint Mansell
on his iPod while carrying out the killing spree. He said the song would
help him suppress his fear.

Teenagers who survived the initial attack threw themselves into the
sub-zero waters of the lake in an attempt to flee. Others hid under corpses
and barricaded themselves inside their rooms. One 15-year-old girl managed
to survive by crouching under the same rock the killer was standing on.
Others played dead.
