In New Zealand, a court has sentenced a man who killed 51 Muslim worshippers in New Zealand’s deadliest shooting to life imprisonment without parole.

It is the first time such a sentence has been handed down in New Zealand.

Earlier, Brenton Tarrant, admitted to 51 charges of murder, 40 counts of attempted murder and one charge of committing a terrorist act during the 2019 shooting rampage at two Christchurch mosques which he live streamed on Facebook.
