Witnesses have described in chilling detail how mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik tricked them into believing he was a policeman on a ferry to Utoya island where he killed 69 people in a shooting spree on July 22.

Ferry captain Jon Olson told Oslo District Court on Thursday about his "angst and full panic" as he desperately tried to contact police about the ongoing attack.

Olson says no one suspected Breivik, who was in police uniform as he stepped onto the ferry some two hours after setting off a car-bomb in central Oslo that killed eight people.

Breivik, 33, showed no remorse in court as police described the killings, during the 11th day of the terror trial.
