Well, the socionics stereotype for such a systematic killing says that beta rationals are where we should look.

Obsequium amicos, veritas odium parit
I wish propensity to evil not to be type related. I wish wish wish.
My motivation here is to try make as certain as possible that he's NOT ESTj which I can't rule out as of yet, so I'm hoping someone will "prove" me wrong here.
Thing is, ESTjs are also known as "good soldiers". I certainly wouldn't rule out an ESTj serial killer and frankly I think there have been several. ESTjs tend to approach things from the point of one-upping, proving that something that something can be done. It's like a game. Killing the other person might not be construed by the psyche even as violence if the other person is someone who "is supposed to die".
I certainly have no trouble cutting people open in the surgery room, which is violence for a good purpose.
I guess I'd like to find something else, but the violence, to prove this guy was Se.
The tagging thing might be one. That smacks of vandalism, disrespect for property. Also he does look more like an ISTj. Thing is, I'd like more proof.
First eliminate every possible source of error. Thence success is inevitable.
Cutting people open and making a bomb using way too much, let's call it, ingredients, is two different things.
The quote above about his relation to logic is certainly another point in favour of ISTj. And since I don't really particularly much hang out with them, maybe I'm making a mistake, maybe they do methodically try out different identities when looking for themselves. Anyhow I can't fully trust myself in this one since I'm too motivated to want to see him as ISTj. Bugger.

As for the other thing, I'd think bombing a building would be easier than cutting people open with a small knife. I certainly had trouble in the anatomy theatre dissections.

Having read the beginning of his book, he strikes me as being -dominant. Based on VI, I'd say he's ISTj > INTj.
The maximum sentence for any crime in norway is 21 years. This guy is actually going to get out of jail in his early 50s. That astounds me.
