Anders Breivik, the Norwegian mass killer who killed 77 people, apologised to his mother for ruining her life before she died of cancer this year, a new book claims.
"The Mother", based on hours of conversations with Wenche Behring Breivik by journalist Marit Christensen and published on Thursday, says she once described herself as the world's "saddest mother" who both hated and loved her son.
She had no idea that he was planning the attacks on July 22, 2011, cooking him a dinner of spaghetti that got cold as she waited in vain for his return and watched the news of bombings and shootings by an unknown killer.
She broke down in tears when the police came to her house that night to say Anders Breivik was to blame for the massacre – a bombing in Oslo that killed eight and a shooting rampage on a nearby island that killed 69, many of them teenagers. » | Reuters | Thursday, October 31, 2013
