Norwegian teenager denies being "cold-blooded hired killer" in British murder plot
A Norwegian teenager standing trial in Britain has rejected claims that he is a professional hired killer, telling the court that he is not "no cold-blooded professional hitman". Prosecutors allege that the 19-year-old travelled from Norway to Britain with the intention to murder an unknown person for payment.
The case, reported by Sky News, concerns allegations that the young man flew to Britain specifically to carry out a contract killing. During the trial, he disputed the portrayal of himself as a calculated murderer, and gave a different characterisation of his involvement.
The trial continues as the court investigates the circumstances surrounding the alleged plan and the defendant's role in it.
