The coroner's inquest into the mosque terror attacks, in which 51 people were killed, will look into the role of social media in the killer's radicalisation, and the emergency response on the day. In February a hearing was held to hear submissions from interested parties - including people injured in the attack, family members of those killed, and community organisations - about what they would like to see covered in the inquest. The inquest will look at the events from the start of the attack until the completion of the emergency response. It will also look at Tarrant's radicalisation through social media and online platforms. Windley said this was an issue identified as a particular concern by the interested parties.
