Hearing of a full colonial investigation through March 15, 2019, mosque shooting began in May 2023, confirmed by Coroner today.
Last month, coroner Bridget Windley focused on whether Australian terrorists had radicalized online until 2014, and whether he was acting as a lone wolf, with an inquest in Christ Church. Announced that it will be done.
She said there are many factors in the date 2023.
“It’s not surprising that a study of this size combined a variety of factors to create significant challenges in ensuring the first stage hearing date,” she said.
“These include the availability of numerous stakeholders and lawyers, lawyers and witnesses, the availability of appropriate court facilities in the Christ Church court, and school holidays and Christmas / New Year periods to families. Includes generally paying attention to the additional pressure given. Others who have party status and want to join.
“It was also important to recognize as an additional consideration to take into account the anniversary of the attack, and compliance with Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr, in order to respect the families of the deceased. At a recent pre-inquest meeting, I We have investigated and may schedule a hearing later this year. “
Windley said that many lawyers, especially those who act for many families, will embark on the necessary preparatory work to enable them to address the issue of inquest in a “comprehensive and robust way.” He said he was looking for more time.
“I am aware of the interests of my family, the size of the work involved, and the competing demands I need to manage, and I continue to work to ensure that the investigation proceeds in a well-responsive and timely manner. “She said.
She said the first phase of the inquiry will take place in Christchurch court for four weeks from May 15th to June 9th.
Windley revealed in a 99-page decision last month the scope of a coronary investigation into Christchurch’s Masjid attack.
It revealed the exact issue that the prosecutor would focus on, and heard from shooting survivors, sad families, and other stakeholders following a three-day hearing in February.
Although not yet dated for hearing, this study in Christchurch examines the causes of death for each of the 51 people killed during shootings at the city’s Masjid Arnour and Lynnwood Islamic Center mosques.
We will also consider what Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern called “one of New Zealand’s darkest days,” from the start of the shooting to the “completion of emergency response” and a formal interview with terrorist police.
“For investigation issues during this period, [terrorist] Whether that day was helped by others, emergency response efforts were made, and that response affected the survival of the deceased, “said Windley’s decision.
The main concern for the family was how terrorists were able to obtain a gun license, and while the Royal Investigation Commission was digging deeper into the gun license, prosecutors said, “The flaws identified in the process. Also check if is currently being addressed by the legislature Modifications or process changes.
Another big issue for many families is the shooter’s online and social media activities and how much it contributed to his extreme radicalization.
Investigations by the Royal Commission and New Zealand police focused only on the two years leading up to the attack, with limited success in restructuring his online movement.
For the first time, Windley decided to investigate the online activity of the mass slaughterers from 2014 to 2017 and whether he became radical much faster than previously thought.
The Royal Commission found that New Zealand security agencies had deployed a “concentration of inappropriate resources” to investigate Islamic extremists before 2019, but prosecutors said intelligence agencies, anti-terrorism agencies, and Missing opportunities by other public sector agencies have been determined to be out of scope, citing the security-sensitive nature of important evidence and will not be investigated.
“The atrocities of March 15, 2019, as well as the nature and scale of this investigation, were unprecedented in New Zealand,” said Windley.
Al Noor imam Gamal Fouda said yesterday that the autopsy process hopes to eventually address unresolved concerns, and the New Zealand Islamic Association (FIANZ) welcomed the decision on the scope of coroners and the issue. Satisfied with the inclusion of “almost everything” in.
“We are pleased that it seems like a meticulous approach to identifying the cause and circumstances of March 15,” said Abdul Razak, chair of the Federal Commission’s submission and follow-up.
“This is the last legal step we know we have to ask some important questions that still remain.
“This will bring closures to many victims in some respects, not just the lessons learned.”
