PICTURED: Killer' had been flagged for radicalisation and had restraining order after threatening his father with a gun

This is the face of the suspected terror attacker accused of killing five people in a bow and arrow rampage in Norway, as it's revealed he once threatened to kill his father with a gun and had a restraining order against him.

Espen Andersen Bråthen is the 37-year-old Danish man arrested over the attack, police have confirmed, after officers said the suspect is a Muslim convert flagged for radicalisation and the attack 'appears to be a terrorist act'.

Bråthen was identified by several neighbours in the town of Kongsberg before a now-deleted YouTube video was uncovered in which he reads out a kind of manifesto in English - calling himself as 'a messenger' who 'comes with a warning.' 'Bear witness that I am a Muslim,' he adds.

Meanwhile court documents and testimony from neighbours painted a bleak picture of Bråthen's life - an 'unstable' loner with a collection of weapons, who rarely left his flat, hadn't held a job in years, suffered from mental health problems, used drugs, and was estranged from his family.

Bråthen also has a lengthy criminal history, including an incident in May last year in which he went to his father's house and threatened to kill him while carrying a handgun - before fleeing and leaving the gun behind.

Two relatives then took out a restraining order against him, which he breached last August. Court documents also reveal that he has prior convictions for aggravated theft and drugs going back at least as far as 2011, though likely earlier. He appears to have been out of work since the early 2000s, VG reported.

Police today sealed off the suspect's house, which is located close to the supermarket where the attack began, while forensic officers were pictured searching what appears to be an art studio on a nearby street.

Ole Bredrup Sæverud, chief of police for south-east Norway, said officers were first called about the attack at 6.12pm Wednesday after locals near a Coop Extra market were shot at with a bow and arrow.

Kill the idiot, terrorist are very unrepentant

Just like the movies once they accept the religion they have joined the group of terrorist

It has always been them…

Only Jesus can save

This religion again..tufiakwa!!!!!

I see western European countries and American banning Islam in their countries, I see Muslims cry injustice for be denied entry into a Christian country for fear of stirring up trouble, I see most of them especially the ones in Africa accepting Christianity so they can escape the hunger in Africa, I see them getting the visas.

This I have seen.

Fear Islam

Fear Islam a bad. The truth is that a core Muslim Faithful can kill at will just like Mohammed

Islamabad is a capital

72 virgins is sure already

Allahu akbar

You see what we are saying ...Any Religion that stated that until you killed an infidel you wont make Paradise is a big time disaster....and the irony is they claim religion of Peace as Borno STate claim Home of peace .....You want to know more about Islam radicalism.....Just type to Google "Is Allah a chief of Gods in Makkah" Dont quote me unless you do this

Food is ready bigotry brethren!!!

This guy is worse than a wild animal!

Religion of violence
Everything about them is blood

Hes a terrorist if he's alleged to be a Muslim, if not, they will say he's fighting mental battle etc

All moslems are terrorists

Why are they trying so hard to blackmail Islam?.

I think it is time we looked beyond our religious difference and focus on our personality..

A Christian, Jew,etc. Could have committed such a barbaric act. The terrorists in the east are majorly Christians...

It's time for christians around the world to start killing muslims too
