Wrapped in white cloth, the bodies were laid to face Mecca, and, after jenazah (funeral) prayers, were carried towards their freshly dug graves.
New Zealand’s mosques mass shooting
Several mounds of dirt piled high marked the site of multiple graves which will be used for New Zealand’s worst mass shooting. The bullet-ridden Al Noor mosque, where more than 40 people died, was being cleaned and repaired for Friday prayers. He was remanded without a plea and is due back in court on April 5, when police said he was likely to face more charges.
As of Tuesday night 21 victims had been identified, with the remainder expected to be completed on Wednesday before their bodies can be released for burial, police said.
