The man accused of shooting dead 51 Muslim worshippers in the Christchurch mosque attacks in March smiled as his lawyers entered not guilty pleas to multiple murder and terrorism charges.

The man accused of shooting dead 51 Muslim worshippers in the Christchurch mosque attacks in March smiled on Friday as his lawyers entered not guilty pleas to multiple murder and terrorism charges.

Tarrant, a 28-year-old Australian national, was committed to stand trial next year on 51 counts of murder, 40 of attempted murder and engaging in a terrorist act. "He was laughing there and he thinks he was so tough, but he was a coward when he faced me and he ran," he said."Put me for 15 minutes in one cell and then we will see if he can laugh any more."Tarrant allegedly opened fire in the packed Al Noor mosque during Friday prayers, then travelled across town to continue the carnage in the suburban Linwood mosque, while livestreaming his actions on social media.

Didar Hossain, whose uncle and friends were killed in the attack, was disappointed the justice system was taking so long to deal with the case.Tarrant was remanded in custody to appear for a case review hearing to be held on August 15.

Cant blame him .He learnt that from the silent majority who just looked on as ISIS slaughtered innocent people.....

What difference does it make? Lots of psychopaths have been hanged the world over, and most of them pleaded not guilty. What is the anger about? The anger shud just be about his killing of innocent people. It ends there. Stop creating stories over nothing

WATCH | Vicki Momberg: 'I’m not guilty of a crime'VickiMomberg 'There are programmes, like the Trevor Noah show, where they promote saying the k-word.' Trying to justify racism is sickening to the soul. Just admit you wrong. Is it so fucking difficult 🤬 I wish i was not African so that i can just mock our JusticeSystem by going around calling Africans by the K-word and get away with It like VickiMomberg and that Indian old man who even took a video of himself called OurPresident by the K-word. Not sure why this woman is getting so much media attention. She is now some sort of Racist Ambassador. 😏
