At least four people were arrested, three of whom authorities believe to be connected to the attacks, according to Ardern.

According to New Zealand Police Commissioner Mike Bush, a fourth person arrested might have nothing to do with the attack.

The man who was charged with murder is a 28 year old identified as an Australian man. According to media reports, the suspect's name is Brenton Tarrant. He is due to appear in the Christchurch District Court on Saturday morning.
