A criminal psychology expert at the University of Pretoria says there is a definite link between violent computer games and the carrying out of acts of violence.

Christiaan Bezuidenhout spoke to us regarding a massacre in Norway over the weekend that left 93 people dead and nearly a hundred others injured.

Anders Breivik, the self-confessed killer, claims to have played several games while he was planning the attacks over the last few years.

These included Modern Warfare, Dragon Age and World of Warcraft.
