New Zealand Mosque Shooter Who Killed 51 Sentenced To Life Without Parole

News 18  

The white supremacist who slaughtered 51 worshippers at two New Zealand mosques was sentenced Thursday to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The judge imposed the maximum available sentence on 29-year-old Australian gunman Brenton Harrison Tarrant, the first time the sentence has been imposed in New Zealand. The March 2019 attacks targeting people praying at the Al Noor and Linwood mosques shocked New Zealand and prompted new laws banning the deadliest types of semi-automatic weapons. A standby lawyer appointed by the court told the judge that Tarrant did not oppose a sentence of life without parole.
