- description: A relative of one of those killed by Anders Behring Breivik has thrown a shoe at the defendant, interrupting his trial in the Norwegian capital Oslo. "You killed my brother! Go to hell!" the relative screamed in the courtroom. The shoe missed Breivik, hitting his defence lawyer. Breivik, 33, admits killing 69 people at a youth summer camp on Utoeya island and eight in a bomb attack in Oslo on 22 July 2011. But he denies criminal responsibility. The shoe-throwing incident brought spontaneous applause from members of the public in the courtroom. The relative of the victim - who was not identified - was later led out of the room by the security staff. Some reports say he is from Iraq. A security guard later told the BBC that his colleagues "quickly took care of the man". "It's not very surprising," he said, adding that "there are lots of emotions in the courtroom". The shoe hit defence lawyer Vibeke Hein Baera, who was sitting closest to the public gallery during the presentation of autopsy reports. In response, Breivik was quoted as saying by the AFP news agency: "If someone wants to throw something at me, do it at me while I'm entering or leaving, and not at my lawyer." It is believed to be the first such public outburst in the courtroom since the trial started. The trial has resumed since the incident. On Thursday, survivors continued to relive the horrors of last year's massacre. One survivor said she was so close to the gunman on the island that she heard him walking quietly around "doing away with people". Many relatives were earlier in tears as the court heard coroners' reports about the victims.
