Christchurch mosque shootings accused appears in court on murder charge

The man charged over the Christchurch mosque shootings has appeared in court and been remanded in custody until April 5.

In a brief appearance on Saturday morning, 28-year-old Australian man Brenton Harrison Tarrant did not apply for bail or for the suppression of his name.

Handcuffed and wearing a prison robe, he appeared calm during his three-minute appearance, gazing around a packed courtroom.

He was not required to speak.

He has been charged with one count of murder, although New Zealand Police have flagged filing more charges.

More to come.
