"You are not only a murderer, you are a terrorist." That is how New Zealand Justice Cameron Mander described Brenton Tarrant as he sentenced him to life without parole - a legal first in New Zealand. The 29-year-old Australian was sentenced on 51 charges of murder, 40 charges of attempted murder, and a charge of committing a terrorist act for the shootings at two Christchurch mosques in March last year.
