Anders Behring Breivik, who carried out bomb and gun attacks in Norway last year which left 77 people dead, pleads not guilty on the first day of his trial.

RT on Twitter: http: //twitter. Anders Behring Breivik trial: the father's story . An unmade driveway runs from the road between similarly recent modest villas to the bars of a large electric gate. The house beyond is spare but comfortable; three plump cats roam the terraced gardens, by some margin the house's most attractive feature. The floors are tiled, the sofas shiny, the television new but not flashy. That's where he saw the news. We turned on the TV; we have BBC and Sky here, no Norwegian channels. Eight people had died in the bombing and a far larger number . Then they started to say, a typical Norwegian. They did not know who. It was late; we were upset. This was our home country. White hair, steel- rimmed specs, sober jumper; ask casting for a 7. Norwegian diplomat and you surely wouldn't get better. Visibly ill at ease, for at least the first hour. I sat with my head in my hands. It was a terrible moment. A day-by-day summary of the trial of Anders Behring Breivik, who killed 77 people in twin attacks in Norway last July but denies criminal responsibility. I just could not face it. The media got here that evening and I hid. My wife told them I was in Spain. Constantly, I am reminded who I am. In the first few weeks, I thought seriously of taking my own life. I've lost the retirement I always imagined; that's gone. I will forever be asking how a man could possibly develop such thoughts. And could I have done something? But could he? Others, to Breivik's distress, have not been slow to suggest that he could. Assorted commentators have called him . Katharine Birbalsingh, who describes herself as . Nor, maybe, for those who wish to judge such things, a very admirable one. For Jens Breivik, sitting stiffly at his dining- room table confronting roads travelled and turnings taken, it is certainly not easy to tell. He and Wenche Behring had been together for two years when Anders was born on 1. February 1. 97. 9. Both had been married before: Jens, then economic affairs counsellor at the Norwegian embassy in Lancaster Gate (his second tour in London), had three children from his first marriage, which had lasted nearly 1. Behring, a nurse, had a young daughter, Elisabeth, with her previous husband, who was Swedish. The couple separated within a year of Anders's birth. I think what she wanted to be was a single mother. She just left, anyway, went to Oslo with Anders and her daughter. Didn't want me to see my son. You get help in Norway, as a single mother. In a conversation with the psychiatrists who evaluated Anders, leaked to the Norwegian press, she has said only that she first noticed signs of her son's . Behring reluctantly brought the infant Anders from Oslo to see him, staying at one stage for several months even though the marriage was beyond repair. Then in 1. 98. 3, Breivik got married, for a third time . But soon after the couple arrived in France, Breivik says, it became clear that Anders, now four, was not faring well in Oslo. They said his relationship with his mother, her emotional incapacity to care for him, made it harmful for him to stay. But it was very difficult; Wenche would not admit to any problems. She wouldn't talk to me. But in Norway, the presumption is always with the mother. I had a small chalet in southern Norway; he stayed there often, too.? He was never very communicative; quite withdrawn. He wouldn't talk about his mother, home, school. He came to my place to relax, have a good meal, then . He is, understandably, reluctant to talk about this; three failed marriages reflect well on no one. This one finally collapsed, he says, when he asked her to contact Alcoholics Anonymous. Then in 1. 99. 2 he met Wanda, his fourth and current wife; they married three years later. I was in a bad way when I met her. Three marriages, three divorces. She's helped put me back together. She's helping me through this, too. Though I'm not sure, frankly, that either of us will ever truly get through it. Done too many stupid things. Over the previous two or three years, things had become increasingly difficult. In his manifesto, the killer blames his father for the estrangement, saying Breivik . He was not happy with my 'graffiti' phase from 1. He has four children, but has cut off contact with all of them. So I think it is pretty clear who is at fault. He was also shoplifting. But I was always willing to see him, and he knew that. It was Anders who cut it off. His decision, not mine. He was 1. 6, building his own life. He had his hip- hop, too. I knew about teenage boys, I knew what interests them. He was always: don't know. When I heard no more from him, I thought that was what he had done. In 2. 00. 5, Breivik had a phone call out of the blue. He didn't want anything; he was just anxious to tell me he was doing well and was happy. I had health problems; I said I was pleased to hear from him, and we should stay in touch. Subsequent police inquiries have shown much of this to be delusional . Last month Norwegian police, assisted by French officers, spent nearly 1. Carcassonne. The psychiatric report on his son makes clear, he stresses, . Quiet, awkward, but not . If he didn't want to see me, there wasn't really much I could do. And anyway, after that he seemed successful, with his own business, employees. That was good, wasn't it? He knows his choices have not always been the wisest. Of his relationship with Wenche Behring, he now says: . While the photographer is busy with Breivik outside, Wanda seeks to explain. Her husband is not someone who talks easily, she says. He's trying to write them down. Sometimes, it's true, he has just . And sometimes he has done things that are not in his own best interests, not at all, so as not to hurt or upset people. But he is a good man. He moved around a great deal with his job, of course.
