Christchurch mosque attacker sentenced to life

Wellington, Aug 27 (UNI) New Zealand's Christchurch Mosque attacker, Brenton Tarrant, who shot dead 51 worshipers last year through his semiautomatic rifle and also live streamed the island's worst terror attack, was awarded life sentence by a court, under terrorist act, here on Thursday.
"Even if you are detained until you die, it would not exhaust the requirements of punishment and denunciation", Justice Mander of the High Court averred while pronouncing the judgement.
Tarrant, a 29-year-old radicalised youth, killed as many as 51 worshipers at Al Noor Mosque and Linwood Islamic Centre on 15 March last year. Forty others were also injured in the attack which shocked the entire world.
