The 29-year-old right-wing extremist Brenton Tarrant from Australia attacked Muslim believers on March 15, 2019, killing 51 people. 50 others were injured. He broadcast large parts of the crime live on the Internet via Facebook using a helmet camera. Previously, he had sent a manifest with racist and right-wing extremist slogans by email and posted it online. It was the most devastating violent crime in recent history of the Pacific state.
