During the final proceedings in Buskerud District Court today, the prosecutor described the actions in Kongsberg on 13 October last year as one of the most serious incidents of violence in Norway in recent times. – There was no one who could predict what happened. That this was a killer in search of human life. He inflicted fear of death on many people, said public prosecutor Christiansen. The prosecuting authorities had announced in advance that they would file a claim for compulsory mental health care for Br\u00e5then.

The prosecution today went through all the points in the comprehensive indictment. State Attorney Christiansen believes all were accidental victims. – The purpose of the shots was to kill. There was no one he wanted to spare, apart from family members, Christiansen said in court today. State Attorney Vibeke Gj\u00f8slien Martins explained why the prosecution believes Br\u00e5then was insane when he carried out the brutal killings. She referred, among other things, to the psychiatric experts, who concluded that Br\u00e5then suffers from paranoid schizophrenia. Believes Br\u00e5then will pose a risk of violence if he does not receive treatment – Was insane – The accused had obvious delusions at the time of the crime. He has said that he saw a white horse, that he would commit Jihad, and that he would be born again. He still suffers from delusions, said Gj\u00f8slien Martins. She also believes that the murders themselves testify that he had a failing understanding of reality. – Our opinion is that the perpetrator was insane, said Gj\u00f8slien Martins. She pointed to the danger of recurrence, and pointed out other murder cases where perpetrators have been sentenced to compulsory mental health care. Danger of recurrence – There are five murders and 11 attempted murders. He did not stop until he was arrested, and he had a clear and distinct goal of killing more. We could risk that more lives were lost, the public prosecutor said. She also referred to the psychiatric experts, who believe that there is a danger of recurrence, and that Br\u00e5then has a chronic mental illness with a poor prognosis. – It is absolutely crucial that the prosecuting authority has control over Br\u00e5then’s treatment and follow-up in the future. We’ve seen what he’s capable of. It is absolutely necessary to transfer Br\u00e5then to compulsory mental health care, said Gj\u00f8slien Martins.
