Poor thing

Maybe he'd like to be in an American prison on death row, or some prison in a third-world country. He was given the maximum number of years in prison, 21, when sentenced in Norway, which is very forward-thinking in many respects but was not really prepared for the crimes committed in this case, in my opinion. Now he's complaining about cold coffee and not enough butter for his bread in a 26-page whinge against the system. This is a man who quite deliberately shot and killed 77 people, many of them teenagers. Oh, just cry me a river.

In all seriousness, the article states that the younger woman was not a maid killed ritually to be the companion for a queen in the afterlife as previously thought. Instead, she was a woman of high rank herself, having even used a metal toothpick, a rare luxury. The older woman, long supposed to be the grandmother of the first king of Norway, died of cancer, something that could be determined from her bones. She also had a syndrome that caused hair growth and a thickening of the body due to a hormonal imbalance. The young woman had a broken clavicle that had been healing, but there is no evidence that she was killed.
