Newsdeck: New Zealand mosque attacker Tarrant to face 50 murder counts By Al Jazeera

Brenton Tarrant, the 28-year-old Australian, was only charged with one murder when he first appeared in the Christchurch District Court the day after the shootings that took place on March 15.

The 28-year-old, who will be representing himself, will appear in the High Court at Christchurch on Friday morning by video from a prison in Auckland, will have the opportunity to enter a plea. Otherwise, the short procedural hearing will be used to set dates for his future court appearances, including a possible trial date.

The law change – which enjoys broad support in the parliament – would ban most types of semi-automatic weapons, including those used in the March attacks.
