Accounts emerged on Sunday of heroic attempts to tackle a gunman who slaughtered 50 people at two mosques in New Zealand, as authorities prepared to begin releasing the bodies of victims to their families for burial. The Prime Minister went on to lay flowers and pay her own tribute to the victims at a makeshift memorial outside the mosque. According to Islamic law, bodies should be cleansed and buried as soon as possible after death. Arden said today: "It's likely to be a small number to begin with. "It's the expectation that all bodies will be returned to families by Wednesday." Cops are thought to have found another body at Al Noor mosque — the first of Brenton Tarrant’s two targets. There were fears the toll could rise to 60. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/8655704/new-zealand-prime-minister-hugs-mourners-mosque-terror-attack/ Read The Sun: http://www.thesun.co.uk Like The Sun on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesun/ Follow The Sun on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheSun Subscribe to The Sun on Snapchat: https://www.snapchat.com/discover/The_Sun/1633225139
