Mother of confessed Norway killer says he has lied

Jun 14, 2012

Oslo, Norway:The mother of Anders Behring Breivik — the man who has confessed to killing 77 people in Norway last summer — claims that as much as half of the information her son has told police is fabricated.

The statements from Breivik’s mother were read out in court on Thursday as psychiatrists presented a 239-page report about the 33-year old extremist’s mental health.

Breivik's mother isn't appearing at his trial because of health-related reasons, and has not been named due to Norwegian privacy rules.

She described how Breivik transformed from a caring son into an aggressive and secretive loner.

She also said that “half of what he’s told police is a lie” — including exaggerating both his travels and education.
