New psychiatric report for Breivik

A Norwegian court has ordered a new psychiatric evaluation of mass killer Anders Behring Breivik, after an earlier report found him legally insane.

Judge Wenche Elizabeth Arntzen said in Oslo that the new evaluation was necessary considering widespread criticism of the initial findings, which suggested Breivik should be sent to psychiatric care instead of prison.

She said two Norwegian psychiatrists had been appointed for the new evaluation.

Breivik has confessed to a bomb and shooting spree on July 22 that killed 77 people.
