Norway building psychiatric ward for Breivik
21:18 • 27.06.12
Even if found criminally insane, confessed mass killer Anders Behring Breivik is likely to remain inside the walls of the prison where he has been held since his bomb and gun attacks in July.
According to Greenfieldreporter.com, Norway's Health Directorate on Wednesday approved plans to build a psychiatric ward inside Oslo's Ila Prison, specially designed for the 33-year-old right-wing extremist.
Breivik has been held at the prison since the twin attacks on July 22: a bombing in downtown Oslo and a shooting massacre at a youth camp outside the capital. The self-styled anti-Muslim militant admitted both attacks, which killed 77 people.
Since his guilt is not in question, Breivik's mental state was the key issue during his trial, which ended last week. The court is set to make a ruling on Aug. 24.
