New Zealand mosque shooting: Gunman Brenton Tarrant flashes 'white power' sign, smirks during court appearance
Brenton Harrison Tarrant, 28, appeared in white prison clothing with manacled hands. He smirked when media photographed him in the dock during the hearing on Saturday
The main suspect in the Friday shootings that killed at least 49 people at two mosques in New Zealand flashed the 'white power' sign and smirked when he appeared in court on Saturday.
Brenton Harrison Tarrant, 28, was photographed during the brief hearing making the OK symbol that has been appropriated by white supremacists.
The Australian personal trainer showed no expression as District Court Judge Paul Kellar read one charge of murder to him. "There is one charge of murder brought at the moment, it is reasonable to assume that there will be others," the judge said.
The court appearance lasted only about a minute and he was led back out in handcuffs. He was ordered to return to court again April 5.
