Shattered New Zealanders whose relatives are still missing after the terror shooting in Christchurch have gathered outside hospital, anxiously waiting for good news

The white supremacist mass shooter who murdered 49 worshippers at the mosque has also now been identified as a 28-year-old Australian who seemingly spent up to seven years travelling the world and became obsessed with far-right and Neo-Nazi ideology. 

Brenton Tarrant will appear in Christchurch District Court charged with murder on Saturday, after he stormed a mosque in Christchurch, opening fire with a semi-automatic shotgun and a rifle on about 100 defenceless people attending Friday prayers. 

Many people have been heard wailing and crying in the hospital’s corridors as they learn their friends and family won’t be coming home.

As many wait for news on their loved ones, many still remain missing.

With the scale of the operations, many people are likely to need several surgeries over the coming days and weeks due to the nature of the wounds

One man desperate for answers is Mahdi Zougub, 22, who told the New Zealand Herald that he was on the way to the Deans Ave mosque, when he learned of the shooting. 

He described how shocked he was to see the dead bodies, and how he is is now nervously waiting to find out whether his friends and family survived.

We think our friend… we think he’s gone. There’s a lot of emotion,’ Mr Zougub said.

This is while other concerned relatives Janna Ezat and Hazim Al-Umari told the Mirror that they feared their son Hussain is also among the dead. 

His mother said: ‘We love you Hussain. If he dies it’s a holy Friday and he’ll be safe with God.’
