KONGSBERG , Oct 15 ― A Norwegian court will decide today how long a man suspected of killing five people with a bow and arrow and other weapons can initially be held in detention, police said.
Braathen, a convert to Islam who had shown signs of radicalisation, went on a rampage through the small town, attacking people in a store as well as on the streets and in their homes in an apparent “act of terror”, according to police. Braathen is believed to have acted alone and is cooperating with the investigation, police have said.
Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere, who took office yesterday after winning elections last month, will visit Kongsberg on Friday together with Justice Minister Emilie Enger Mehl.
