Espen Andersen Braathen, the suspect in the Kongsberg bow-and-arrow attack that killed five, has been transferred to health services after a health assessment.
Braathen, a 37-year-old Danish citizen, acknowledged killing four women and one man, aged 50-70, in what police describe as a random "act of terror" using a bow and other weapons.
Investigators revealed Braathen is a convert to Islam who showed signs of radicalization and has a history of mental health issues, leading to a planned full psychiatric evaluation.
A court has ruled he can be held for up to four weeks in pre-trial detention as the investigation continues into Norway's deadliest attack since 2011.
