Espen Andersen Brathen is reported to have a previous conviction for burglary and drug possession and had been issued with a restraining order after threatening to kill a relative.

Police say he was reported to them over possible radicalisation last year and say his killing rampage "appears to have been an act of terror". He is now undergoing a psychiatric assessment and prosecutors say he has been handed over to health services. The evaluation could take several weeks and, if he is remanded in custody, he would be held in medical care rather than prison.
