PM hugs mourners as she reveals she was sent hate ‘manifesto’
-
From Richard Shears in Christchurch
Tarrant sent a copy of his ‘manifesto’ to her office nine minutes before the attack.
She said the hate-filled 74-page document had been emailed to more than 30 politicians.
She stressed that it did not include specific details about the attacks, such as location, and had been forwarded to security services within two minutes of being received.
She added: ‘Had it provided details that could have been acted upon immediately it would have been. Unfortunately, there were no such details in that email.’
Miss Ardern said she had read ‘elements’ of the document, calling it ‘deeply disturbing’.
