Breivik declared insane Psychiatrists assessing Norwegian mass killer Anders Behring Breivik have concluded that he is suffering from paranoid schizophrenia
| Psychiatrists believe he was in a psychotic state both during and after the attacks on 22 July that led to the deaths of 77 people.
Breivik will still be tried in April but likely he will be placed in psychiatric care rather than prison
