Western tabloids condemned for 'humanising' NZ mosque attacker

British and Australian tabloids describe Brenton Tarrant as an 'angelic boy' while showing childhood images of him.

Social media users have condemned Western tabloid newspapers for their coverage of the New Zealand mosque attacks and their attempts to "humanise" the main suspect. 

At least 49 people were killed and 40 others were injured in the twin attacks by Australian suspect Brenton Tarrant, 28, who allegedly shot dozens of worshippers in the New Zealand district of Christchurch.
