Christchurch, March 18
The Australian gunman charged with murder for allegedly killing 50 people in mass shootings at two New Zealand mosques planned to represent himself, his court-appointed duty lawyer said on Monday.
Brenton Tarrant was charged with one count of murder and appeared at Christchurch District Court on Saturday after the rampage during Friday prayers.
Duty lawyer Richard Peters, who represented him during the preliminary court hearing, told AFP the 28-year-old “indicated he does not want a lawyer”.
“He wants to be self-represented in this case,” Peters said. AFP
