A coronial hearing into the Christchurch Mosque attacks has begun, but it's not a question of who is to blame. Coroner Brigitte Windley is tasked with determining the circumstances of each of the 51 deaths - and addressing unanswered questions. It follows a criminal prosecution and a Royal Commission of Inquiry. Herald senior reporter Anna Leask has spent the day in court- and she says the Coroner is clear the responsibility rests on terrorist Brenton Tarrant. She says this is about shining a light on what happened. "Tarrant didn't go to trial because he pleaded guilty and the Royal Commission was done more privately, so there's a lot of the evidence that the families of the victims will only hear during this process."

In April 2019, a month after 51 people were killed, the National Intelligence Manager said the system's effectiveness over the past decade should be "celebrated". But the intelligence section was haemorrhaging staff and had been panned in internal reviews - and even now has major problems. Unlike the Security Intelligence Service, police did not review their own performance in the lead-up to the mosque attacks - instead, feeding into the Royal Commission which took almost two years to report back.

Stress is to blame for a spike in the number of strokes after the Christchurch terror attacks, a study has found.New research, led by Canterbury District Health Board neurologist Dr Teddy Wu in collaboration with the New Zealand Brain Research Institute, shows there were four times as many acute strokes in the city the week after the mosque attacks and more than four times the number of large strokes.Dr Wu said the surge in stroke hospitalisations was only found in Christchurch.He said it is likely stress around the attacks increased the risk of blood clotting leading to more strokes."The statistics suggest the observations of increased treatments and large strokes in Christchurch did not occur by chance."The most plausible explanation is the generalised stress response after the terror attack. This may increase risk of blood clotting."Professor Tim Anderson, clinical director of the NZBRI, said the study has been hailed internationally as an exceptional and important piece of work."It shows a clear relationship between stress and acute and large strokes. There has never been clinical evidence of this before."Worldwide, post-9/11 New York researchers focused on heart failure, and Japanese researchers reported an increased number of strokes throughout Japan at the time of the earthquake/tsunami in 2011, but in terms of having information about the size of the strokes, our study is unique," he says.Three days after the terror attack, the NZBRI team set out to see if there was an increase in strokes in the city.

Hundreds of pages, multiple volumes of volumes of information, startling revelations, admissions of failings, promises to do better and vows of "never again".But at the heart of the Royal Commission into the Christchurch terror attack are the 51 men, women and children whose lives were brutally taken on March 15 last year.The survivors, the witnesses.Innocent people who should have been safe, who should have made it home alive that day and who never should have had to live through a terror attack.Many of those who survived the gunfire that day or were closely affected spoke to the Royal Commission, set up less than a month after the unprecedented horror.While a lot of their stories of the day and their loss have been told before - the depth of their grief, pain and ongoing fear was canvassed by the Commission on an intimate level.Most of the victims of the March 15 terror attack are buried side-by-side at a cemetery in eastern Christchurch. Photo / Alan Gibson"This is by far the hardest thing I've every had to go through - I am still going through it and suffering the loss of my little brother. He was my best friend," said one person who spoke about their loss."I can still remember when Mum was pregnant with him and I used to speak to him through her stomach. I couldn't wait to meet him."He was a gentle-natured and kind man who always tried his best … the thought of someone even touching him, let alone killing him, drives me crazy."He was so young, his future has been unjustly taken from him and from all his family and friends who wanted to share his future."In total 1168 submissions were made to the Royal Commission - 1123 of those from individuals including researchers and academics.More than 22 countries and 50 languages were represented by submitters, who were not restricted in what they shared with the Commission."These conversations and submissions have strengthened our process hugely by ensuring we kept the 51 shauhada at the heart of our work," the report explained."We were able to speak to all those affected whanau, survivors and witnesses who expressed a wish to talk to us."Many of those closely affected invited us into their homes, sharing their grief… we were deeply humbled and privileged to do so."We are extremely grateful to those who agreed to meet with us. The stories they shared about their experiences before, during and after the terrorist attack gave us valuable insight which has deeply enriched this report."People were asked about the impact of the attack as well as their lives in New Zealand before it.They were also asked whether they ever felt unsafe and what the government could have done in the past to help them feel safer - and what it can do to make things better going forward and to prevent future attacks.The report revealed that some people were "ready and willing to meet right away" but others needed more time."We met with people on their own terms….

Christchurch mosque attacks: Former head of firearms control on licence vetting

A former head of firearms control at the police says those vetting the man behind the Christchurch mosque shootings should have been concerned when he couldn't provide a reference who knew him when "the front door closes". Joe Green told RNZ a week after the attack that there had been no interview conducted of a spouse, partner or next of kin. The report yesterday confirmed those claims, finding the gunman listed his sister as his closest reference, but she was discounted because she lived in Australia. Instead, vetting officers interviewed a friend he had met during online gaming, and the gaming friend's father. While the gaming friend knew of Tarrant's far right, racist and Islamaphobic beliefs, the friend didn't mention those views during the licencing interviews. Joe Green told reporter Ben Strang that it highlights a failure to train staff over the past decade.

The Christchurch massacre was planned and executed by a man who appeared to slip the attention of authorities in plain sight. Tuesday's report by the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Christchurch terrorist attacks identified a long list of weaknesses across police and security agencies. The man behind the shooting had a firearms licence approved within three months of his arrival in New Zealand. In less than 2 years, he amassed ten high powered rifles and guns. In the gym, the terrorist was using steroids to bulk up his body while on the internet he barely disguised his admiration for right wing extremism. The decision to grant the mosque gunman a firearms licence has been identified by victims as one of the key failures that allowed the terror attacks to occur. Sara Qasem, who lost her father, Abdelfattah Qasem in the Al Noor mosque, told Conan Young the findings confirmed some of her worst fears.

An increased age rating and a warning have been placed on a new Netflix documentary showing brief clips of the Christchurch mosque terror attacks. The imagery comes from the mass murderer's own livestreaming of the killings. The documentary, The Social Media Dilemma, started screening in this country late last week with a seven years-plus rating. Complaints to the chief censor prompted him to contact Netflix on Saturday, but they refused to remove the clips. The streaming service did agree to raise the age-rating and add a warning saying it contained scenes from the shootings.
