WELLINGTON, March 19 (MENA) - New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has vowed never to say the name of the Christchurch mosque gunman, the BBC reported.

"He sought many things from his act of terror, but one was notoriety - that is why you will never hear me mention his name," Ardern said in an emotional address at New Zealand's parliament.

Last Friday's shootings at two mosques left 50 people dead and dozens wounded.

Australian Brenton Tarrant, 28, a self-described white supremacist, has been charged with murder.
