A rural GP killed in the New Zealand mosque shootings is being remembered as a beloved and dedicated servant of his community, who would share fresh baklava with his colleagues.

Dr Amjad Hamid was one of 50 worshippers killed by a gunman at two mosques in the city of Christchurch on Friday, in what has been described as an anti-Muslim terror attack.

A 28-year-old Australian man, Brenton Harrison Tarrant, has been charged with murder in relation to the killings.

Dr Hamid, 57, lived in Christchurch with his wife and family, and for the past three years had worked as a rural hospital consultant in the North Island town of Hawera.
