The father of the alleged author of the attacks in Norway said that it would have been better that his son killed himself than kill other people, according to an interview with TV2 channel.
“I think that he should have killed himself than kill so many people”, said Jens Breivik, Anders Behring Breivik’s father, the alleged author of the attacks resulted in more than 90 deaths.
A former diplomat, Jens Breivik has not had any contact with his son in the past 15 years.
“I will not have any contact with him”, said Jens Breivik, filmed from behind, with two policemen nearby.
Asked by journalists whether his statement about his son are pretty heavy, Jens Breivik said, “Yes, it is. But when I think about what happened, I am very disappointed. I do not understand how this could happen. A normal person can not do that”.
In the 1,500-page manifesto posted on the Internet, Anders Breivik Behring evokes connections with his family, explaining that parents divorced when he was a year old and has grown with his mother. “I had a good relationship with my father and his new wife at that time, until I was 15 years old”, said the alleged criminal.
“He has four children, but he’s not speaking to anyone, so it’s clear whose fault is it. I did not need him, but some of my step-brothers and sisters need him”, he explains.
Jens Breivik is currently in Cournanel French village, his house guarded by gendarmes, for fear of reprisals. Prosecutor in Carcassonne, Antoine Leroy, said that the gendarmes are still near the house occupied by Jens Breivik, as a precaution.
“There is no indication to suggest that there is any threat to him. It’s just a preventive measure. There were rumors about a search at his house, but they are absolutely inaccurate”, said the French Republic Attorney.
In an interview broadcast Sunday by the Norwegian newspaper Verdens Gang, Jens Breivik said he was in shock. A pensioner that has not seen his son for several years, had discovered by reading newspapers on the Internet that his son is the author of the attacks of Oslo and the island Utoeya.
