IQNA – The sister of Brenton Tarrant, the terrorist who carried out the Christchurch mosque attack in March 2019, has given evidence at the inquest into the terrorist attack. She revealed that he once “admitted he thought he was a sociopath and didn’t care for people” and “idolized” Hitler. Today Lauren Tarrant’s evidence - her statement to police and a brief written for the inquest - was read in court. Deputy Chief Coroner Windley said while Lauren Tarrant had provided the brief, she was unwilling to engage with the inquest process any further. Lauren Tarrant said her brother began playing first-person shooter video games when he was about 6 - and became “obsessed”.
