Anders Behring Breivik will be held in solitary confinement for the first four weeks, with a ban on all communication with the outside world in a bid to aid a police investigation into his acts.

The suspect, 32, admitted the facts of the case, but did "not plead guilty," judge Kim Heger said after the closed-door hearing.
