Return to Utøya: Norway Gunman Returns to Scene of the Crime for Police Reconstruction
Wearing a bulletproof vest to protect him from revenge attacks and tethered to a police leash to prevent his escape, Anders Behring Breivik was back at the scene of his shocking murder spree to reconstruct the attack on the Labour Party youth camp in Utøya for police investigators this weekend.
Breivik spent about eight hours with inspectors going through the details of his attack, and the photos of him pointing his finger and aiming as if it were a rifle are a chilling reminder of the destruction he wrought in late July.
He was accompanied by a dozen police officers, and according to the story in the Daily Mail, sources say he showed no remorse for his actions that day that left 69 youthful campers dead.
‘He has been questioned for around 50 hours about this, and he has always been calm, detailed and collaborative, and that was also the case on Utoya.’
As the killer retraced his steps, he explained what happened with as little interference as possible from police, the prosecutor explained at a press conference in Oslo last night.
The reconstruction was filmed and will be used as evidence in court, he added. Breivik also took the same ferry he had used to get to the island for his attacks.
The prosecutor confirmed Norwegian media reports that police received several phone calls from Breivik during the massacre, but would not say how the authorities reacted to the calls.
Press reports have suggested the gunman offered to surrender and asked police to call him back, which they did not do.
The reconstruction was filmed in its entirety by police. It was arranged to avoid the need for prosecutors to do one in court and to ensure that Breivik recounted the attacks in as specific detail as possible.
Here is a news report of the reconstruction. It’s in Norwegian and there are no subtitles. But it’s worth taking three minutes to watch nonetheless.
