The vile far-Right terrorist who slaughtered at least 49 people in New Zealand was inspired by Anders Breivik and Darren Osborne and called for the death of Sadiq Khan in his twisted manifesto.
Australian man Brenton Tarrant, 28, published 'The Great Replacement' the morning before opening fire at two mosques in Christchurch, on New Zealand's south island.
At least 49 people are believed to have been killed in the attack, with more than 40 also in hospital suffering from gunshot wounds.
The chilling 73-page manifesto details his twisted grievances, why he picked the mosques in Christchurch and how he was inspired by Norway mass killer Anders Behring Breivik, who killed 77 in 2011. He also listed Finsbury Park terrorist Darren Osborne in the document.
Among his muddled ramblings are rants about sex gangs in Rotherham and north England, and calls for the deaths of Angela Merkel, Recep Erdogan and Sadiq Khan.

Tarrant published an online manifesto detailing his plans to carry out a massacre hours before the attack. He called the 73-page document: 'The Great Replacement'
The rambling manifesto was posted before Tarrant opened fire inside the Al Noor Mosque and another gunman went on a shooting rampage at the Linwood Masjid Mosque
'I have read the writings of Dylan Roof and many others, but only really took true inspiration from Knight Justiciar Breivik,' he wrote.
Tarrant's reference to Breivik as a 'Knight' relates to the Norwegian's support for the Knights Templar - an extremist Christian group of specialist fighters from the 12th century.
Tarrant also claimed he had been inspired to carry out the attacks as 'revenge' for a terror attack in Sweden that claimed a young girl among its victims.
'There was a period of time two years prior to the attack that dramatically changed my views. The period of time was from April 2017 to May 2017,' he wrote.
'The first event that begun the change was the terror attack in Stockholm on 7 April, 2017.
'I could no longer turn my back on the violence. Something this time was different.
'That difference was Ebba Akerlund... Ebba was walking to meet her mother after school when she was murdered by an Islamic attacker.'
Tarrant described himself as an 'ordinary white man born in Australia to a working class, low-income family.'
'I am just a regular white man, from a regular family. Who decided to take a stand to ensure a future for my people,' he wrote.
Tarrant grew up in Grafton, in northern New South Wales, where much of his family still lives.
In the manifesto Tarrant said he had 'little interest in education' and 'did not attend University as I had no great interest in anything offered in the Universities to study'.
The man said he initially planned to target a mosque in Dunedin, but changed to the Al Noor and Masjid Mosques because they had 'far more invaders'.
Brenton Tarrant, 28, grew up in Grafton, a small town in northern New South Wales.
Tarrant's father, who was a competitive athlete and completed 75 triathlons, died of cancer in 2010 aged just 49. His mother still lives in the area.
Tarrant attended a local high school and then worked as a personal trainer at the local Big River Squash and Fitness Centre from 2010.
A woman who knew Tarrant through the gym said he had always followed a strict dietary and exercise regime.
'He was very dedicated to his own training and to training others,' she said. 'He threw himself into his own personal training and then qualified as a trainer and trained others. He was very good.'
'When I say he was dedicated, he was dedicated more than most people would be.
'He was in the gym for long periods of time, lifting heaving weights. He pretty much transformed his body.'
The woman said she had not spoken to him or heard him talk about his political or religious beliefs.
'From the conversations we had about life he didn't strike me as someone who had any interest in that or extremist views,' she said.
'But I know he's been travelling since he left Grafton. He has been travelling overseas, anywhere and everywhere.
'I would say it's something in the nature of his travels, something he's been around.
'I know he's been to lots of different countries trying to experience lots of different things in life and I would say something's happened in that time in his travels.'
The manifesto reveals in chilling details his grievances, why he picked the mosque and reveals why he was inspired by Norway mass shooter Anders Behring Breivik (pictured)
