Justice Served? The Troubling Case of the Mosque Attacker in Norway

In a shocking turn of events, the Oslo District Court has finally delivered a crucial verdict against the perpetrator of a heinous attack on a mosque in Norway six years ago, along with the brutal murder of his own stepsister. This despicable criminal has now been sentenced to an astonishing 21 years in prison—a verdict reached amid controversy surrounding his mental health at the time of the crime.

The Court’s Bold Decision

The court firmly stated, “After an overall evaluation of the evidence, the court considers it proven beyond all reasonable doubt that the accused was of sound mind and was not suffering from psychosis at the time of the act,” as reported by NRK. This should put an end to any doubts about the offender’s culpability!

It comes as no surprise that Fiscal Trude Antonsen expressed satisfaction with this ruling, indicating that justice has been served. Yet, the legal team representing Philip Manshaus remains in denial, proclaiming that the court has erred in its assessment of his mental health.

A Troubling Past of Violence

Let’s not forget the grim details: after Manshaus committed the attacks in 2019, he underwent evaluations by three psychiatric professionals who shockingly found no signs of psychosis or personality disorder. He was rightfully sentenced to 21 years of preventive detention for murder and terrorism, with a mandated minimum of 14 years.

Back to Court—But Why?

Fast forward to 2023, and this monster was reportedly admitted again due to alleged psychotic episodes, prompting his lawyer to push for a case reopening. The reinstated trial in 2024 saw new psychiatric experts suggesting, surprisingly, that Manshaus was indeed suffering from psychosis during his crimes. A sensational conflict erupted among the experts, raising eyebrows across the nation. Is this an attempt to manipulate the system and escape true justice?
