The man accused of killing 51 people at two Christchurch mosques abandoned his bid to move the trial to another New Zealand city.

FILE - In this June 14, 2019, file courtroom drawing, Brenton Tarrant, the man accused of killing 51 people at two Christchurch mosques, appears via video link at the Christchurch District Court, from the maximum security prison in Auckland where he's being held, Christchurch, New Zealand. Tarrant has abandoned his bid to move the trial to another city. The unexpected development on Thursday, Oct.

The unexpected development was welcomed by survivors and grieving relatives of the March 15 attacks, who had worried they would need to travel to Auckland to appear as witnesses or watch the proceedings. During the brief hearing, he smirked, winked and tried to shout something with his hand cupped around his mouth, but by that point the sound on his link had been lowered so what he said was inaudible. When the judge had asked him earlier if he could hear what was being said in the courtroom, he replied “Oh yeah!”

Alsati said he and most of the other victims had been prepared to travel to Auckland for the trial, if necessary, and so were happy it would be held in Christchurch. Auckland is about 765 kilometers north of Christchurch.

Even at the other side of the universe his actions would still be heinous and disgusting.

I think his name is Brenton Tarrant. I've never met a Brenton before. Very unique name.

Did he think news hadn't traveled outside of Christchurch?

It’s on video. Video HE live-streamed. A .50 cent bullet to the head. Done in time for lunch. ByeFelicia

Lol suspect

Why waste time with a trial?

He was radicalized by Ben Shapiro.

He clearly isn’t motivated by anything rational.
