Police: Man who died backed New Zealand mosque killing

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — A man who apparently killed himself during a standoff with New Zealand police had posed a “significant threat” to the community and supported the actions of the man who killed 50 Muslims at two mosques last month, authorities said Wednesday.

Police said 54-year-old Artemiy Dubovskiy, also known as Troy, did not have a direct connection to the mosque gunman, as they revealed more details about the man and his death last week.

Dubovskiy first came to police attention after sending troubling emails referencing the March 15 attacks, district police commander John Price said.

Based on a tip, police searched three of Dubovskiy’s properties and found guns, ammunition and violent extremist content.

Police located Dubovskiy in a vehicle around 12:30 a.m. on March 27 and negotiated with him for three hours before approaching the vehicle and finding him with a mortal stab wound. They also found a knife.

One dead terrorist sympathizer is one less potential living terrorist.
