Norway killer Anders Behring Breivik will undergo new psychiatric exam

Their conclusion was widely criticised by other psychiatrists who said that it
was unlikely that a paranoid schizophrenic would be able to mount an
operation as meticulously planned as Breivik’s attack.

Lawyers for victims of the attack last month called for a new psychiatric
evaluation on the grounds that the psychiatrist monitoring Breivik in prison
had reported no signs of schizophrenia.

“There is insufficient evidence that he is insane,” said Mette Larsen, one of
the lawyers. “It is important for them to have a new assessment. They don’t
need to have him convicted, but they need to have comfort that it is the
right conclusion.”

Mrs Arntzen said that both teams of psychiatrists would be called to give
their evidence to the trial in April.

Jarl Robert Christensen, whose daughter was killed on Utoya, said he was not
concerned whether Breivik was in prison or in an institution.

“For me it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t care about it, he’s either going to be
in jail or in psychiatry for his whole life, it doesn’t matter.”
