CHRISTCHURCH (Reuters) – Australian Brenton Tarrant appeared in a New Zealand court on Friday where the suspected white supremacist was charged with an additional 49 counts of murder at two mosques last month.
Although journalists were able to attend and take notes, coverage of the hearing was restricted, with media only allowed to publish pixilated images of Tarrant that obscure his face. The judge also suppressed the names of people he was alleged to have attempted to murder.
