An Australian man who has been charged with murder in the shooting rampage that killed at least 50 worshippers at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, on Friday will be tried in the country, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said Sunday. The man, 28-year-old Brenton Harrison Tarrant, appeared in a Christchurch court Saturday and was charged with one count of murder. “We cannot be deterred from the work that we need to do on our gun laws in New Zealand,” she said. “It is the expectation that all bodies will be returned to families by Wednesday,” she said. And someone was being taken into custody within 36 minutes.”Police will increase their presence throughout New Zealand on Monday, especially in Christchurch, she said.
