Norway mass killer: Defence argues Breivik is sane

The defence team for mass killer Anders Behring Breivik have said he should be considered sane in their closing arguments at the trial in Norway.

Breivik admits he killed 77 people and injured 242 on 22 July last year in attacks in Oslo and on the island of Utoya.

The prosecution wants him declared insane and sent to a psychiatric ward, but Mr Breivik's lawyers have argued that he acted on his political beliefs and therefore is sane.
