Sane Anders Breivik gets 21 years
Mass murdered Anders Breivik was today declared sane and jailed for 21 years when he gunned down 69 students in cold blood just hours after setting off a car bomb which killed another eight in Norway's worst ever terrorist massacre.
Smirking Breivik showed no sign of nerves as he arrived at court in Oslo today to learn his fate.
He consistently refused to show any remorse for the killings - which he said were an attempt to end Norway's multi-cultural society.
He was jailed for 21 years by the five-member panel of judges shortly after 9am.
He will serve at least ten years before any chance of being considered for parole, though experts say he is unlikely to ever be released.
Breivik showed no emotion as the sentence was delivered but smiled and smirked as he stood when the judge entered court.
The 33-year-old always admitted the massacre of 69 youngsters –the youngest aged just 14 and with an average age of 19 – at a Labour Party youth camp on the Nowegian island of Otoya last July.
He posed as a police officer to slaughter the youngsters as they approached him for help.
Breivik blamed the Labour Party for the 'Islamisation' of Norwegian culture and claimed he was launching a fightback.
The panel of five trial judges had to rule on Breivik's sanity when they delivered their verdict. Breivik, also set off a car bomb that killed eight people in Oslo
Breivik will be taken back to Oslo's Ila Prison, where he has been held in isolation for most of the time since his arrest. The prison built a psychiatric ward just for him in case he was declared insane.
Legal experts say it is unlikely Breivik will ever be released. It will not happen for as long as Norwegian authorities consider him dangerous to society.
Throughout the trial, Breivik showed no sign of remorse.
Breivik has said that psychiatric care would be "worse than death".
