Right-wing fanatic Anders Breivik went on trial today over the murders of 77 people in a case that will decide whether he is evil or insane.

Norway's King Harald has said freedom is stronger than fear, as the country concluded a month-long mourning period with a memorial service to the 77 people killed by a right-wing extremist.

IT IS unlikely that the right-wing extremist who admitted killing dozens in Norway last week will be declared legally insane because he appears to have been in control of his actions, the head of the panel that will review his psychiatric evaluation has said.

When Anders Behring Breivik launched his assault on the youth campers of Utoya Island, he expected Norway’s special forces to swoop down and stop him at any minute.

Lawyers for Anders Breivik have said he used some sort of drug before carrying out the double attack in Norway on Friday in which 76 people were killed.
