An 18-year-old accused of sharing a live-stream of the Christchurch mosque mass shooting has been refused bail. The 18-year-old appeared in Christchurch District Court today and was granted name suppression. Police have said the teen - who cannot yet be named - was not involved in the shootings on Friday. The charge relating to distributing an objectionable publication is dated March 15, the day of the mosque shootings, court documents show. The second charge, of making an objectionable publication, alleges the offence took place between March 8 and 15.
