Inspector Per Thomas Omholt says the suspect who's since been identified as 37-year-old Espen Andersen Braathen wounded his victims with arrows, but then used a knife or some other type of sharp instrument to finish them off. The attacks occurred last Wednesday in Konosberg.
Investigators acknowledged that they were now looking at "illness" as a possible factor and that those killed were stabbed - some in their homes - rather than hit by arrows.
OSLO (Reuters) - Five people killed in a small Norwegian town last week were all stabbed to death and not shot with a bow and arrows as initially suspected, police said on Monday.
