New Zealand teenager youngest of Norway massacre victims

The family of the New Zealand-born girl who was killed in the Norway massacre have spoken about their grief.

Police in Norway have confirmed the identity of Sharidyn Svebakk-Bohn, believed to be 14.

Her parents have released a statement saying it is with immense grief and deep sorrow that the family today received the message they been dreading since the attack on the Labour youth organisation (AUF) on the island Utoeya, outside Oslo last Friday.

"Our beloved daughter, Sharidyn Svebakk-Bohn, was confirmed dead earlier today."

She was among 68 people shot dead by Anders Behring Breivik on the island where some 650 youths had gathered at a summer camp.

Norwegian police on Wednesday published the names of a further 13 victims of Anders Behring Breivik's attack on Oslo and Utoya Island.

Twelve of those named were among the 68 shot dead on Utoya, the island that was hosting a summer camp run by the youth wing of Norway's ruling Labour Party. Most of the victims were less than 20 years old.

The other victim was one of the eight people killed by Friday's car bomb in central Oslo.

The combined death toll from both attacks stands at 76 people. Police have refused to rule out the possibility of the number rising as they trawl the waters surrounding the island.

Ten of the names released today are teenagers. The youngest, Sharidyn Svebakk-Bohn, was only 14 when Breivik carried out the massacre.

On Tuesday, police named the first four victims. They said they will release the other names once they have been identified and their families informed.

Petter Stordalen, a Norwegian billionaire, has offered to redevelop the island as a haven for international youth democracy.

"Today Utoya is a symbol of a nation in mourning – but I want it once again associated with joy, unity and optimism," the 48-year-old Norwegian hotelier said.

Meanwhile Lisa Engelsrud, 31, who knew Breivik when he was young said he was a “troublesome” child.

She Told The Times that he used to spit in the basement of the block of flats they lived in in west Oslo.
