Serious footage was released today from the carnage of a terrorist killer at a supermarket in Norway last year that left five people dead in the quiet town of Kongsberg.
Espen Andersen Bråthen, 38, is on trial for killing five innocent people and injuring 11 others on October 13, 2021.
The Norwegian disillusioned with the system and converted to Islam had been listed as a problematic person since 2015, but was not sufficiently investigated until he stabbed and shot his victims at the Co-Op Extra supermarket.
Security camera footage released by Bråthen’s court showed the killer entering the store armed with a bow and knife.
Dressed in military trousers and white skirts, the killer places the arrows in the bow one after the other, releasing them to terrified customers in the store.
He admitted the crimes before the judge yesterday, showing how he persecuted people even outside the store, leaving five people dead from the age of 52 to 78, including four gr.
The killer’s first victims were married couple Gunnar Sauve and Liv Borge, both 75, near their apartment.
Bråthen’s lawyers insisted yesterday that he is mentally unstable and should be placed in a mental institution and not in prison.
According to them, the “madman” believed that he was being blinded by the eyes, so the solution was that he should kill as many people as possible.
“I learned the idea that in order to be reborn in a better place I have to go and kill before I go blind,” the killer was justified in court.
He further argued: “But now there is no danger of this happening again as I know I will not be blinded and I understand that it was wrong to kill people.”
He then killed an electrician and a ceramic artist after entering her studio in Hytegatten and locking himself inside.
Bråthen was described as a lonely and unstable man who had converted to Islam.
Norwegian intelligence PST contacted Bråthen in 2015, and kept him under surveillance until 2017, when he converted to Islam
The PST assessment at the time stated that the subject was not motivated by religion but was only “mentally ill”.
But the imam of the mosque he started attending, Oussama Tlili, said Bråthen had spoken to him “a message passed from a superior power” and that he needed to deliver.
From mental problems the attacker is not believed to have held a steady employment since the 2000s.
Bråthen reportedly had amassed a series of weapons at home, and was seen by neighbors practicing with sticks and sticks in his garden.
The trial continues.
