Brenton Tarrant, 28, is accused of carrying out a terror attack on two mosques in Christchurch killing 49 people and injuring 48. Australian Tarrant, who is originally from Grafton in New South Wales, made his first appearance at Christchurch District Court today. During the brief court appearance, he was remanded without bail and is due back at the High Court on April 5. Footage showed Tarrant flanked by two security guards as he stood for the entirety of the short hearing. At least 41 people died in the Al Noor mosque after the gunman opened fire before he drove to the second and killed seven more.
