Tarrant

New Zealand police and intelligence services made a string of errors ahead of last year's Christchurch mosques attack, but may not have been able to prevent the massacre of 51 Muslim worshippers, an inquiry found on Dec. 8.

The man who committed the worst atrocity in New Zealand's modern history when he slaughtered 51 worshippers at two Christchurch mosques unexpectedly pleaded guilty to all charges on March 26.

Turkish justice minister on March 25 said Turkey visit of Brenton Tarrant who attacked two mosques in New Zealand was beyond a touristic travel.

Greek Police and intelligence services are feverishly investigating a mysterious 2016 stay in Greece of Brenton Tarrant, whose diatribe of over 70 pages explained the motivations of his massacre of at least 50 Muslims in New Zealand and included references to Greek and Turkish history.

Police say that Brenton Harrison Tarrant, who has been arraigned for the deadly shootings in two New Zealand mosques Friday, had stayed on the Greek islands of Crete and Santorini and transited through the country twice, all in 2016.

Australian Brenton Harrison Tarrant, 28, a suspected white supremacist, was charged with murder on March 16 after 49 people were killed and dozens wounded in mass shootings at two New Zealand mosques.

A police official confirmed this on Friday.
