The Aussie man accused of shooting 50 people dead in the Christchurch mosque attacks has backflipped before facing court today.
Brenton Tarrant, 28, will appear on Friday in the High Court at Christchurch three weeks on from the shootings that killed 50 people. He will face 50 charges of murder and dozens more of attempted murder as he returns to court.
Some families of those slain in the attacks will be making their way to court today in an attempt to catch a glimpse of the accused gunman. “ just want to see what he has to say, what sort of feeling he’s got emotion, to see what his reaction is, good or bad and the truth will come out of him,” Yama Nabi told radio network RNZ.“They didn’t harm him, no-one harmed him.
There were earlier suggestions Tarrant intended to represent himself at trial but two Auckland-based lawyers have confirmed to media they have been appointed to act on his behalf.
