Breivik friends give testimony

Former friends of confessed Norwegian mass killer Anders Behring Breivik say he often seemed depressed, expressed feminine tendencies and led some to believe he may be gay.

Three of the 33-year-old’s former friends told the Oslo District Court that five years before Breivik massacred 77 people in July, he moved back to live with his mother and ended all social contacts.

The friends, who did not want to be named, testified during Breivik’s trial as the defendant watched in an adjoining room.

Breivik killed 69 people on Utoya island on 22 July after setting off a bomb in central Oslo.
