NORWEGIAN GUNMAN RETURNS TO THE SCENE OF THE CRIME FOR MORE
August 14 2011
Utoya, Norway - Anders Behring Breivik is back at the scene of the crime. Less than a month after he engaged in a mass shooting, killing 69 people, Breivik is back on the island where so much of his horror took place. This time, however, he has been escorted by police and will only have supervised access to firearms.
It was July 22 when Breivik went on his shooting rampage on the small island just outside of the capital – where he killed eight more people with a bomb – and cemented himself in history as one of the great mass killers in history. While there, Breivik retraced his steps, reconstructing the course of the killings for police and likely his own amusement. It’s believed likely that this will be the last time he will be able to visit the island. He was not allowed to take souvenirs.
“The suspect showed he wasn't emotionally unaffected by being back at Utoya but didn't show any remorse," said prosecutor Paal-Fredrik Hjort Kraby. "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.”
Breivik was apparently enthusiastic to return to the island, though was only told about the firearm restrictions when he arrived.
“Generally we limit access to firearms by suspects. We have learned that this is best way to prevent issues, principally behavioural issues, when doing these types of 
reconstructions. It is the safest procedure,” said a police spokesperson. “We do realize it is a little deceptive but we believe it is the best thing for everyone involved, well not the prisoner certainly, but their concerns are not our principle concern.”
Breivik was apparently disappointed when he left the island but has apparentlyrequested that any deal would involve regular visits to the island. A further request to kill the Prime Minister, something he failed to do originally, was rejected outright.
“This is a special case and we need to take special precautions in dealing with it. Any sort of perception of favouritism is not something which we would like and we must work to prevent and that is what we have done here. Mr. Breivik is like any other prisoner and will be dealt with in the same manner,” continued the police spokesperson. “All prisoners are given limited access to firearms and public officials These are standard rules and they will be adhered to in this case.”
Breivik was later returned to his cell in Oslo. The caravan did apparently stop for ice cream on the way but he was not given any, in keeping with Norwegian law.
“Police bringing suspects back to the crime scene is a common technique. Often in the case of mass or serial killers they are more than willing to discuss their actions, sometime even enthusiastic to do so, and so it is a great diagnostic tool for police,” said Scrape TV Crime analyst Willard Weston. “Even in controversial cases like this is it a good thing to do. People may be upset but they will be more upset if he went free and so this little sacrifice is worth it. The last thing anyone wants is to risk an acquittal.”
A police officer apparently cut his hand on a branch at the scene after Breivik bumped into him. The wound was not thought to be serious and Breivik will likely not be charged in the incident.
