The City of Dunedin is a five-hour drive from Christchurch, on New Zealand’s southeast coast.
It’s here that accused terrorist Brenton Tarrant lived.
The wooden house he rented in a quiet, leafy street is possibly where he wrote his hate-filled manifesto.
It’s a distressing thought for his unsuspecting neighbour, Brook.
“To know that he might have been planning it for the last year or so that he was living next door is scary,” she said. “It kind of makes me wonder who can you trust?”
She describes Tarrant as friendly and polite but, like the other people in the street, she said he kept himself to himself so she didn’t really know him.
The suggestion New Zealand’s biggest terror attack may have been planned in these streets has shaken this city.
Flags fly at half mast, handwritten signs denounce extremism.
The mayor, Dave Cull, says the atmosphere is tense.
“We understand that the shooter originally was going to target the mosque in Dunedin, so that’s really got everyone on edge.
“So it’s shocked the Muslim community, obviously, and really made them frightened, but it’s traumatised the wider community,” he explains.
The al Huda mosque has become the focus of tributes to the dead.
Mohammed Al Saif lost some of his friends in the shooting and tells us some Muslims here are scared.
“This is the first time that something like this happened so now some kids fear to go out and to walk in the street alone,” he says.
City leaders are adamant white supremacy hasn’t taken root here.
It’s a topic journalists at the Otago Daily Times have been investigating.
While there’s no evidence of widespread racism or a white supremacist networks in Dunedin, police reporter George Block has uncovered some reports of Islamophobic incidents prior to the Christchurch attack.
“We reported on a case earlier this year of an alleged attack by two skinheads and a woman on three Muslim women. I spoke to a woman who said she intervened in the attack to stop the group tearing the headscarf off these women,” he continued.
“I’ve also learned that there have been further Islamophobic attacks alleged here. I spoke to a headteacher of an Islamic education centre who said one of her staff was accosted… again someone tried to tear her headscarf off. That said we haven’t regularly reported on Islamophobic attacks.”
