Norway mass killer jeered on way to court hearing

Norway mass killer jeered on way to court hearing

OSLO (Reuters) - Anders Behring Breivik, who killed at least 93 people in a bomb attack and shooting rampage in Norway, arrived at an Oslo courtroom for a closed custody hearing on Monday to jeers from an angry crowd.

"Get out, get out!" shouted Alexander Roeine, 24, banging on the car he believed had brought Breivik to Oslo District Court. "Everyone here wants him dead," he said, adding that he knew one of the dead and three survivors of Friday's attacks.

According to his lawyer, Breivik had wanted to explain why he perpetrated modern-day Norway's worst peace-time massacre, but a judge ruled that the hearing would be a closed session.
