The psychiatric evaluation that found mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik insane has been approved by Norway's Board of Forensic Medicine.
"There are no significant comments on the evaluation," the board, led by psychiatrist Karl Heinrik Melle has said in a statement.
In the 243-page evaluation, Norwegian psychiatrists Synne Sorheim and Torgeir Husby have reached the conclusion that Breivik suffers from paranoid schizophrenia and is therefore could not be held accountable for his actions, dagbladet.no reminds.
Breivik has disputed the psychiatry report commissioned by the court.
The 32-year-old right-wing extremist has been in custody since the 22 July attacks in Oslo and at a youth camp on the island of Utoeya, in which he shocked the world by killing 77 people, mostly teenagers.
