Accused Christchurch shooter is charged with 50 counts of murder and 39 counts of attempted murder
The man accused of shooting Muslim worshippers at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand has been charged with 50 counts of murder.
Brenton Harrison Tarrant, 28, is due to appear in the High Court at Christchurch on Friday.
The Australian-born man is accused of gunning down almost 100 people in a sickening attack on the Al Noor and Linwood mosques that was live-streamed and shared to Facebook on March 15.
Tarrant, 28, will appear via audio-visual link from New Zealand's only maximum security prison in Paremoremo, Auckland, the New Zealand Herald reported.
He has previously requested to represent himself in court, and in his last court appearance he smirked and gave a white supremacist sign with his hand.

CHRISTCHURCH (Reuters) - The Australian man accused of killing 50 worshippers at two mosques in New Zealand faced an additional 49 murder charges in court on Friday and was ordered to undergo a mental assessment to determine his fitness for trial over the attacks.
In an attack broadcast live on Facebook, a lone gunman armed with semi-automatic weapons targeted Muslims attending Friday prayers in Christchurch on March 15.

I am meditating about Brenton being found UNFIT for trial even with his own protestations to AVOID a memetic spectacle ( a la Brevik) of his delivering further potent radicalization messages to the brothers worldwide during course of public trial…….
