Norway mosque shooting suspect appears in court with wounded face

OSLO - The man suspected of shooting at people inside a Norwegian mosque on Saturday , and of killing his Chinese-born stepsister, appeared in court on Monday with black eyes and wounds on his face and neck.

Online postings under Manshaus' name, made shortly before the attack, expressed admiration for the massacre of more than 50 people at two New Zealand mosques in March by a suspected white supremacist, who filmed and broadcast the killings live online.A few hours after the Norwegian mosque attack, police discovered the body of a young woman at what they said was the suspect's address. Police later named her as his stepsister, Chinese-born Johanne Zhangjia Ihle-Hansen.

"These are two tragedies, one with the girl and one with the mosque. I represent the mother of the girl," she said, adding that the girl's mother and Manshaus' father were together, and surrounded by friends helping them cope.Manshaus did not speak while reporters were present, and has so far declined to talk to the police."He is not admitting any guilt."

The Norwegian police security service, PST, which monitors and investigates extremist threats, said on Monday it had received a tip-off regarding Manshaus last year, but had not launched an investigation at the time. Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg on Sunday said that while her government was trying to combat hate speech, more must be done.
