The police have since said that one of them doesn’t have relations to the attack, while two others ‘ role in the matter remains to be investigated. They should so far not be made to a judge, in contrast to the arrested, australian citizen, who probably is identical with Brenton Tarrant.
the Police will still not exclude the possibility that there are multiple perpetrators, if they are not looking for specific persons.
