A new psychiatric report has found Norwegian mass killer Anders Behring Breivik sane.
The findings could see him sent to prison rather than a psychiatric ward, according to the BBC.
An earlier assessment diagnosed Breivik, who has confessed to killing 77 people in a massacre last year, with paranoid schizophrenia.

A new team of court-appointed psychiatrists, however, has concluded that “defendant Anders Behring Breivik is considered not to have been psychotic at the time of the actions on July 22, 2011,” according to a court statement this morning cited by Reuters.
Both reports will be submitted to the court when his trial begins next week, the BBC said.
Breivik himself has insisted that he is sane, claiming his actions were part of a “crusade” against immigration and radical Islam.
Last week, he accused the two psychiatrists who declared him insane of making up “evil lies” because they disagreed with his ideology, the Views and News from Norway website reported.
In a 38-page letter sent to Norwegian newspapers, Breivik claimed that being sent to a psychiatric institution would be “a fate worse than death.”
