    The controversy was over Sky News Australia replaying footage from the infamous video streamed by the murderer during the rampage.

    New Zealand police advised people not to show the footage in a tweet sent on Thursday. “Police are aware there is extremely distressing footage relating to the incident in Christchurch circulating online,” it read. We would strongly urge that the link not be shared. We are working to have any footage removed.“

    Nevertheless, News Corp’s Sky News Australia continued showing the footage, which prompted the pulling of the plug.

    At the beginning of the hearing he appeared to have a faint smile on his face, but it faded into a neutral expression as the hearing continued.

    Security was tight, with about six security guards and police in total, the guards wearing black protective vests.

    No members of the public were allowed to attend except for media ‘in the interest of public safety’, the judge said.

    Tarrant was remanded in custody. His duty lawyer did not apply for bail. Nor did he apply for suppression on information of the proceedings.

    The hearing was all over in just a few minutes, with Tarrant taking one final look at those gathered and marched away. Some victims’ relatives were waiting at the front doors to the court.
