Norway mass killer charged but ‘unlikely to go to jail’

Mass killer Anders Breivik was indicted on terror and murder charges for the deaths of 77 people in a bomb and shooting rampage, but prosecutors said the confessed killer is unlikely to go to prison.

They consider the right-wing extremist, 33, psychotic and will seek a sentence of involuntary commitment to psychiatric care over imprisonment, unless new information about his mental health emerges during the trial set to start in April.

They charged him under a paragraph in Norway’s anti-terror law that refers to violent acts intended to disrupt key government functions or spread fears in the population.
