On 60 Minutes Liam Bartlett has a world exclusive interview with the father of Norway’s accused mass murderer Anders Breivik, whose actions in July 2011 resulted in the deaths of 77 people.

Breivik has pleaded not guilty claiming he was acting out of “necessity” -sentencing is set to take place on 24th August.

There is also a report on 18 year old Thomas Kelly who died tragically in Kings Cross last Saturday night.

Deadly Encounter
On Sunday night you will witness an underwater drama that is quite simply mind blowing – a face-to-face encounter with a four-and-a-half metre wild crocodile. There are no cages here, no guns, no tranquilisers, just one brave diver and a giant prehistoric man-eater. Dangerous? You betcha! But this isn’t some kind of extreme sport. This is scientific research in the scariest laboratory on earth.

My Son, the Monster
It was a crime as bewildering as it was monstrous. One year ago, almost to the day, thirty-three-year-old Anders Breivik went on a bloody rampage that became the deadliest massacre in the history of peacetime Europe. Seventy seven people were killed – most of them teenagers on a camping holiday. You have to wonder how a seemingly ordinary man could do something so utterly evil. If anyone can answer that question it’s Breivik’s father. On Sunday night, in a world exclusive interview, Jens Breivik talks about what drove his son to kill and how an intelligent, churchgoing teen turned into Norway’s worst mass murderer.

Wrong Place, Wrong Time
Thomas Kelly had his whole life ahead of him. He was just 18 years old – with a promising job, a new girlfriend, some great mates and a close and loving family. Then, last Saturday night, in a single, mindless act of violence… it was all taken away. Thomas was walking along a busy street in Sydney’s Kings Cross, hand in hand with his girlfriend, when he was viciously king-hit in an unprovoked attack. Two days later, his mum and dad made the heartbreaking decision to switch off his life support. On Sunday night, we talk to the people closest to this tragedy – to Thomas’ terrified girlfriend, to the mate who stuck by him during the mad dash to hospital. And to his parents, Ralph and Kathy, who are determined to give their son’s death some meaning.

  1. Liam Bartlett, Shame on You! You were so rude to Jens Breivik and your unprofessional interview was nothing more than a witch hunt, problem is, you had the wrong man!!! I think you owe Jens an appoligy for your disgraceful behaviour. Why ever did you highlight this mans birthday as subject matter for questioning the reasons why this tragety occured i.e (77 year old today Jens, so thats 1 dead for every year of your life) Shame, shame, shame on you! I am so angry with you… not happy Liam!!!

  2. You were so harsh Liam Bartlett on Jens Breivik, you made him feel even more guilty and shameful. He already feels so remorseful and ashamed. He should not have to take the blame for his son’s, Anders, bloody rampage. It was not Jens Breivik that pulled the trigger.
