The man who killed 49 people in a Newzealand mosque is an Australian born “extremist right-wing violent terrorist”, according to Australian prime minister, Scott Morrison.
The man in the footage is a man fuelled with hatred for Muslims , and equipped himself with what appears to be a head-mounted camera to live-stream the attack in central Christchurch. The streams were broadcast briefly on Facebook, showing the violence in graphic detail. Police has warned members of the public not to share the graphic details of the sick film o line. The sick killer was inspired by Renaud Camus’ 2011 book The Great Replacement seems to have inspired the gunman’s 74-page “manifesto.
Police said three people were in custody and one had been charged with murder over the country’s worst ever mass shooting. None of those held, who have not yet been named, had been on security watch lists. Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand’s prime minister, said: “It is clear that this can now only be described as a terrorist attack.” She described Friday’s events as an “extraordinary and unprecedented act of violence”, and “one of New Zealand’s darkest days.”On Wednesday, the Twitter handle @brentontarrant has posted pictures of one of the guns said to have been used in the mosque attacks in the city of Christchurch
A song which played in the suspect’s car is known as a marching anthem for Serbian nationalist paramilitary units known as Chetniks during the 1992-95 Bosnian war.
It praises Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic, who was convicted of genocide and war crimes.
The Christchurch mosque attacks were live-streamed on the internet by a man who posted under the name Brenton Tarrant. Distressing footage shows him firing indiscriminately at men, women and children at close range inside the Al Noor mosque. The individual previously posted a rambling and expletive-filled document, espousing violent right-wing ideology.
Police said three people were in custody and that a man in his late 20s had been charged with murder.
In the 16,500-word document, the man says he began planning an attack after visiting Europe in 2017 and being angered by events there
