Stepmother remembers an ‘ordinary’ boy

THE stepmother of Anders Breivik said he was an apparently normal youth who showed no signs of what he had been planning, even in the months before the massacre.

Tove Oevermo said she kept in touch with Breivik even after she and his father divorced when he was a teenager.

“He was just an ordinary Norwegian, a well-behaved boy. You can’t put all of this together really. I saw no sign of him being a person like he must have been,” she said. “It’s really such a shock.”
