Far-right mass murderer has served 10 years of a 21-year sentence for 2011 shootings
Anders Breivik, the Norwegian far-right mass murderer behind the country’s worst peace time massacre, has appeared in court asking to be released on parole after serving 10 years in prison in near isolation for the murders of 77 people in a double bomb and gun attack in 2011.
Breivik – who legally changed his name to Fjotolf Hansen in 2017 – attacked the country’s government quarter in Oslo with a van bomb before heading to a youth camp being held by the country’s Labour Party on the island of Utøya where he killed 69 people, most of them teenagers, in a gun attack.
