Murder Charge: Zealand History and Police Officers

murder charge: Brenton Harrison Tarrant appeared in court Saturday morning amid strict security and showed no emotion when the judge read him one murder charge, according to CTV. The judge said it was reasonable to assume more such charges would follow. One man was arrested and charged with murder. Two other armed suspects were taken into custody while police tried to determine what role, if any, they played in the cold-blooded attack that stunned New Zealand, a country so peaceful that police officers rarely carry guns. It is clear that this can now only be described as a terrorist attack, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said, noting that many of the victims could be migrants or refugees. It was by far the deadliest shooting in modern New Zealand history. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
