New Zealand has Announced Severe punishment for the Christchurch attacker: a very important benchmark in the country's history.
A New Zealand court has set an example for the rest of the world by sentencing the Christchurch attacker to the harshest possible punishment in the country's history. Australian Brenton Tarant has been sentenced to life in prison for killing and injuring more than 40 people.
He will not be able to get release on bail during his sentence. This is the harshest sentence ever handed down by a New Zealand court. A New Zealand court has sentenced the perpetrator of the Christchurch tragedy to life in prison without the right to pardon. For the first time in New Zealand history, such a convict has been sentenced.
Reacting to the court's decision, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said she was reassured to hear that the culprit would never see the light of day.
It was a crime never committed in New Zealand's history. The culprit received the same punishment as no one before. The severity of the March 15 pain cannot be underestimated. The 29-year-old convict pleaded guilty in court. Brenton Tarant was charged with 51 counts of murder, 40 counts of attempted murder and one count of terrorism.
Christchurch High Court Judge Cameron Mander, who is hearing the case, said a fixed sentence would not suffice. The judge added that the offender's crimes were so heinous that he would not be able to serve his full sentence for the rest of his life in prison. The judge also expressed regret that the culprit had no remorse for his heinous crimes.
The convict was in the courtroom at the time of sentencing. The culprit didn't respond to a request for the comment. The judge further said that the culprit came to our country with hatred in his heart against a particular community and this thing has no place in the world including our country. The judge asked the accused if he wanted to say anything on the occasion but the accused did not say anything. Earlier, the prosecution told the court that the culprit had planned his crime in great detail and that he wanted to kill innocent people as well as terrorize a large number of people.
