Breivik’s sexuality ‘could be factor’

Former friends of confessed Norwegian mass killer Anders Behring Breivik say they believe he became depressed as he struggled to accept his sexuality.

Four of the 33-year-old’s former friends told the Oslo District Court that five years before the right-wing fanatic massacred 77 people in July, he moved back to live with his mother and ended all social contact.

The friends, who did not want to be named, gave testimony during Breivik’s trial as the he watched in an adjoining room.
