“It’s only since he travelled overseas I think that this boy has changed completely to the boy we knew.”
Investigators believe Mr Tarrant had been planning his attacks for two years whilst living in New Zealand. Twelve months ago he returned to Grafton for his sister’s birthday and there were no red flags, Mrs Fitzgerald said.“We all chatted we and had a meal together to celebrate that occasion and now everyone is devastated.”“First up I thought it could not be then I saw his photo… it’s just not right ...its un-repairable," Mr Tarrant's uncle Terry Fitzgerald said.In the meantime the family is assisting investigators as they try establish what turned a country boy into an accused killer.
They said they are “shattered” for the people of New Zealand and those suffering because of Mr Tarrant’s alleged actions. “We are so sorry for the families for the dead and the injured. I can’t think nothing else just shattered is the word," Terry Fitzgerald said.He has been charged with one count of murder and remains the only person charged directly over last Friday's shooting massacres.He did not apply for bail when he was before the court on Saturday.
I found it disgusting that had to trot out the grandparents to apologise for their grandsons actions, probably because they couldn't get the Mother & sister SundayNightOn7 got in first. I would hate to be living in Grafton at the moment.
“Alleged”... There is a physical video of him doing it
