CCTV Shows Suspect Firing Bow-and-Arrow During Deadly Attack in Norway
The Norwegian Police Service has released CCTV footage from an attack on October 13, 2021, in which five people were killed by a suspect armed with a knife and a bow-and-arrow at a grocery store in Kongsberg.
Espen Andersen Brathen, 38, has gone on trial for the murder of five people – four women and one man – and the attempted murder of 11 others.
Norwegian media said those fatally injured had died of knife wounds.
TV 2 Norway reported that Brathen told the court that he believed he was going blind, and that by killing people he would become “born again” and save himself. The prosecution and defense both argued that Brathen could not be held criminally responsible after medical experts concluded that he had paranoid schizophrenia, according to Norwegian news website thelocal.no.
The trial began on May 18 and was scheduled to last until June 17, with a verdict expected in weeks following.
