You’re a gutless maggot

Court fury at mosque killer

- BY MARTIN FRICKER martin.fricker@mirror.co.uk @martinfric­ker

A SON who lost his father in the Christchur­ch attack gave his killer the finger as he faced him in court.

Ahad Nabi, whose 71-year-old dad Haj was among 51 killed by gunman Brenton Tarrant, demanded the Australian should “never walk free.”

Tarrant, 29, faces a possible whole life sentence for his deranged rampage outside two mosques in the New Zealand city on March 15, 2019. Ahad called Tarrant “a maggot” and a “coward” adding in a passionate statement: “Your father was a garbage man and you deserve to be buried in a landfill.

“You hurt my father but you never took him away from me.

“You gifted my father with becoming a martyr and he’s returned to Allah.” He added: “Your actions were gutless.” He said he did not forgive and told GUNNED DOWN Mucad the judge: “I ask that this scum never be allowed to walk from prison. “Coming back to this maggot... my dad would have broke you in half if you challenged him to a fight. You are a sheep in a wolf ’s jacket.” Ahad flexed his arms and stuck up his middle fingers, adding: ”You made me even stronger.” Aden Ibrahim Diriye, father of murdered Mucad Ibrahim, three, the youngest victim, told white supremacis­t Tarrant: “True justice is waiting for you in the next life and will be far more severe.”

Also present for the hearing in Christchur­ch was Abdul Aziz Wahabzadah, who saved lives by confrontin­g the attacker.

Tarrant, due to be sentenced this week, admitted 51 murders, 40 attempted murders and a terrorist act.
