    Wounded survivor revisits massacre island as Norway trial looms

    Survivor Alexandra Peltre (L) and her friend Andrea Markussen travel by boat to Utoeya island, northwest of Oslo on Monday, April 2, 2012.

    Alexandra Peltre shows her escape route from the cafeteria at the island.

    Reuters reports: She last saw Anders Behring Breivik when he raised his rifle at her on the shore of a small Norwegian island and calmly pulled the trigger. Now, 18-year-old Alexandra Peltre will face him in court as he stands trial for killing 77 people that summer's day. "I saw him right in the eyes, and poof! I had a hole in my leg," she said during a return to the wooded island where Breivik, an anti-Islam fanatic, killed 69 of his victims as they attended a Labour Party youth summer camp.

    Photo of Norway killer Anders Behring Breivik minutes after arrest

    A photo made available on Feb. 8, 2012 shows Anders Behring Breivik, the gunman who killed 77 people in twin attacks on July 22, 2011, sitting handcuffed and dressed as a police officer minutes after his arrest on Utoya island.

    A photograph has emerged that was taken minutes after the arrest of Anders Behring Breivik, the right-wing extremist who has admitted killing 77 people in Norway's worst peacetime massacre. He is seen sitting handcuffed in a building on Utoya island, wearing police badges that appear to have been stitched on to his clothing.

    Breivik arrives at a court hearing in Oslo on Feb. 6, 2012.

    Breivik, who was detained by a police SWAT team on Utoya on July 22, 2011, told a court Monday that he deserves a medal of honor for the bloodshed and demanded to be set free. 

    He has admitted detonating a fertilizer bomb that killed eight people at a government building in Oslo and hours later gunning down participants at a summer camp for Labor Party youths, killing 69.

    Survivors and relatives of those killed wept and ridiculed Breivik as he defended his acts by issuing a tirade against immigration in his last scheduled detention hearing before the trial starts in April. 

    "The way he talked, the way he smiled ... everything made me realize that no one has the same picture of the world as he does," said Helene Georgsen, 17, who survived Breivik's shooting spree.

    Norway killer Anders Behring Breivik reconstructs Utoya shooting spree for police

    The AP reports:

    Restrained by a harness, Anders Behring Breivik reconstructed his actions for police in a secret daylong trip back to the crime scene where he killed 69 people at Utoya island near Oslo.

    The 32-year-old Breivik described the shootings in close detail during an eight-hour tour on the island with up to a dozen police, prosecutor Paal-Fredrik Hjort Kraby told a news conference in Oslo.

    Under heavily armored police guard, Anders Behring Breivik (left, in red T-shirt) returns to Utoya island on August 13 to reconstruct his actions during a shooting spree on the island.

    Breivik travels on the ferry under police guard.

     

    The reconstruction took place amid a massive security operation that aimed to avoid escape attempts by Breivik and protect him against potential avengers. Breivik walked roughly the same route as the one he took during the shooting spree and explained what happened with as little interference as possible from police, Hjort Kraby said.

    The entire hearing was filmed by police and may later be used in court, he added.

    Breivik (top left, in red) leads police around the island.

    Video images of the reconstruction published by Norwegian daily VG show Breivik arriving at Utoya with the same ferry he used to get to the island last month. Breivik wore a bulletproof vest and a harness connected to a leash over a red T-shirt and jeans as he casually led police around the island.

    Breivik is seen pointing out locations along the way and simulating shots into the water, where panicked teenagers dove in to try to escape from him.

    "The suspect showed he wasn't emotionally unaffected by being back at Utoya ... but didn't show any remorse," Hjort Kraby told reporters. Read the full story.

    Confessed killer Anders Breivik returned to the Norwegian youth camp where he killed 69 people to reenact his bloodbath for police. NBC's Michelle Kosinski reports.
