Moments before the slaughter began, this is accused mosque murderer Brenton Tarrant driving to the scene of his first devastating attack.

Armed and dangerous, the racist was allegedly already in his military fatigues with his semi-automatic rifles in the foot-well of the passenger seat.

Tarrant's Subaru station wagon was captured on film travelling towards Christchurch's Al Noor Mosque less than five minutes before he allegedly started shooting by a surveillance camera mounted on the wall of a business nearby.

Minutes earlier, the the Australian-born white supremacist had sent Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern a copy of his twisted hate-filled manifesto.

The film shows the car's distinct blacked-out windows and rear tow-bar. The left hand of a white man can be seen gripping the steering wheel.

The date is displayed as the 15 March 2019, last Friday. The time counter, set at New Zealand Summer Time, shows 12.38 – about four minutes before the shooting began.

The same vehicle was captured on film by a passer-by who watched as armed police rammed the car off the road and dragged the driver out at gunpoint.

During the 30 minutes in between the two films, 48 men, women and children were allegedly murdered in cold blood as they took part in Friday prayers. Scores of others were wounded, two of which were to later die of their injuries.

Children, including three-year-old Mucad Ibrahim, were robbed of their lives, their innocence and their parents.

Distraught Mother Salwa Mustafa listened as her 16-year-old son Hamza described his desperate attempts to flee the slaughter in a heart-breaking phone call that did not end until a survivor told her he had died.

A massacre survivor has also told Daily Mail Australia that he saw Tarrant scoping out the Al Noor mosque in construction worker clothing a week before the tragedy.

Nasim Khan is convinced the same person looked 'hatefully' at his sister, Nasreen, at a McDonald's just metres away from the second mosque just days before the massacre.

'I recognised the face,' said Mr Khan, who is confident it was the killer outside the mosque he would shoot out. 'He looked at me, angry look.'

'When I popped in he looked at me vacantly … and I felt very uncomfortable inside,' she told reporters.

'So quickly I ran into my car, and I told my husband and he said 'OK, stay with me'.

'I said no, I can't stay with you, I have to go because my daughter is there.

'Mummy feels unsafe so how my daughter would feel?

'So I went there and got my daughter and just out of there'.

She said the incident was 'about four five days ago, about a week ago'. She said she recognised the killer from his photo.

The family made the remarks outside a community meeting for the Islamic community on Tuesday afternoon.
