Investigators in Oslo are working hard to map the path of the accused Nowegian man, and says it is still too early to draw a final conclusion that he was woirking alone - or not,; said the prosecutor Christian Hatlo stated during a press briefing at the police station Tuesday afternoon.
Hatlo is leading the investigation with police attorney Paal-Fredrik Hjort Kraby.
- As you know, we are now in a second phase, the investigation phase, where I apologize that we can not go into any details. On day eleven, the main focus remains to determine whether the accused had accomplices in one form or another. So far there is no information in the case that suggests that someone else had accessory liability, but it is too early to conclude in any final way, emphasized Hatlo Tuesday.
When asked if the police are in control of 32-year-old's movements Hatlo said that the accused's explanation in conjunction with other evidence in the case mean that the investigators feel they have a good overview of his moves on the last day before the terrorist attack.
Anders Behring Breivik will not testify about any alleged other terrorist cells unless he has a number of impossible demands fulfilled. The 32-year-old requires, among other things, that the Norwegian government resigns. It has transported him from Ila prison for questioning Friday of last week.
Have recordings of possible call from the perpetrator of Utøya
To work as efficiently as possible, working police teams has one or more specific work areas each within the investigation group .
Since the terrorist attacks, almost two weeks ago, the police have informed the press and the public daily on developments in the case.
Police Attorney Christian Hatlo confirmed that they have registered a phone call from the accused Anders Behring Breivik on Utøya, but says it is under investigation and not quite sure if it is actually Behring Breivik.
- He said he was alone, beyond that I do not want to say what he told police in questioning, said Hatlo.
One of the clues that the police must clarify, in order to check whether Behring Breivik was alone [or not], is that he actually phoned the police from Utøya. According to the accused's defense attorney, Geir Lippe City, says that he called police from the island.
The police in turn, only confirm that they have recorded a call to the police.
- We have received the investigation a log that shall include a call from the defendant. Whether it actually was him, I will not go into, nor what was said, said prosecutor Christian Hatlo.
Do you have recordings?
- Yes, we have audio recordings of the conversation, answered Hatlo to questions from NRK.
Police said they know when the phone call took place, but that this is information they do not want to go into at this time.
Secret interrogation
In his private manuscript Behring Breivik suggests that he had contact with other alleged terror cells in both Norway and Europe, but he has so far refused to comment within further questioning.
- New questioning of the accused will be made on an ongoing basis as we receive information. Time and place of interrogations, we can for safety reasons, not go out with, say Hatlo.
He would not comment on specific details of who is taken in for questioning in the case beyond Behring Breivik, but confirmed to NRK.no that the 32-year-old's immediate family are routinely questioned as witnesses in the case.
Hatlo was also asked about if blood samples were taken by the defendant after his arrest.
- It is routine to taken blood samples in such a case when a man is arrested, but the outcome of what these blood tests show I do not want to comment, says the police prosecutor.
- Today, the evidence and cleaning up the Utøya have been the focus. We also met today with criminal technicians from the government quarter, and they see themselves now finished with the technical work. Also, where will we start cleaning up, summed Hatlo.
He confirmed that police in Oslo has established cooperation with many international colleagues, including Interpol.
- I will be reluctant to say how we can help, but I can confirm that there are representatives from several other countries than just Norway.
Anders Behring Breivik (32) from Oslo, is accused of killing a total of 77 people in Oslo and Utøya. He admits the killing but denies any guilt.
