Poor diddums isn’t getting his name mentioned

Stuff reports:

The gunman who killed 51 people at two Christchurch mosques says his guilty pleas were obtained under duress due to mistreatment in custody, according to a memorandum from his lawyer.

He has the right to appeal, but considering he livestreamed his murders and wrote a manifesto justifying them I’d say his chances of success are around the same as Labour delivering 100,000 Kiwibuild homes.

Ellis complained the Chief Coroner repeatedly describing the offender as “the individual” – also used in the Royal Commission of Inquiry report – rather than using the offender’s name, was a serious breach of human rights and “deeply offensive and unlawful”.

I think mass murdering 51 people is deeply offensive and unlawful. Choosing not to use someone’s name is trivial in comparison.
