The bodies of 33 victims from the NZ terror attacks in two Christchurch mosques have been released to the families for burial
People attend the burial ceremony for the victims of the mosque attacks, at the Memorial Park Cemetery in Christchurch, New Zealand March 20, 2019. New Zealand officials have released 33 bodies of the victims from Friday's terrorist attack in Christchurch.
“Seeing the body lowered down, it was a very emotional time for me,” said Gulshad Ali, who had travelled from Auckland to attend the funeral. Four days after the attack, relatives were anxiously waiting Tuesday for word on when they can bury their loved ones. "I implore you: Speak the names of those who were lost rather than the name of the man who took them."
Tarrant declined to be represented by a lawyer, but the court appointed duty lawyer Richard Peters to handle the case."He seemed to appreciate what he was facing and why he was there."Among the dead, nine belonged to Pakistan – four of them from Karachi – whereas several Pakistanis were also injured in the attack.
Authorities say Tarrant arrived in Hungary as a tourist last November on a train that runs between Timisoara, Romania, and Budapest, Hungary. The official said there were no further details available on what Tarrant, 28, did during his stay in Israel. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern on Monday said she would announce new gun laws within days, after the immigrant-hating terrorist killed 50 people in attacks at two mosques in the city of Christchurch.
Peters, who represented the terrorist during the hearing, said the 28-year-old "wants to be self-represented in this case."
