Summary Man who threw shoe identified as brother of one of the victims of Norwegian mass killing.
A man identified as the older brother of one of the victims of Norwegian mass killer Anders Behring Breivik threw a shoe at him during his trial on Friday, the first time the proceeding has been interrupted by a public outburst.Go to hell, go to hell, you killed my brother, the man, who was seated in the second row of the public gallery, screamed as he threw the shoe at Breivik from a few metres away. The shoe missed Breivik but struck his co-defence lawyer, Vibeke Hein Baera, who was seated closest to the public gallery, during the presentation of an autopsy report.Norwegian media said the man was a brother of one of the victims of Breiviks rampage, but his name was not immediately available. The incident came during a week of harrowing testimony from survivors of Breiviks rampage across the small island of Utoeya last July, where the ruling Labour Party was holding a youth camp. He killed 69 people there, many of them teenagers.Breivik has listened calmly to the descriptions of his killings and shown hardly any emotion, except when hearing descriptions about how he was said to have let out cries of joy and laughed while shooting, which he has denied.Breivik has admitted the killings, but denies criminal responsibility. He says he was defending Norwegian ethnic purity from Muslim immigration and the multiculturalism backed by the Labour Party.
