WELLINGTON - The man who killed 51 people at two mosques in New Zealand in 2019 meticulously planned his shooting rampage to maximise casualties, a prosecutor said at the start of sentencing hearings on Monday .
Handcuffed and dressed in grey prison clothes, Tarrant sat with hands clasped for most of the morning's proceedings. He showed little emotion, and looked directly at those delivering victim impact statements. Tarrant also expressed regret for not taking more lives and had planned to burn the mosques down, Mr Hawes said.
While most of Tarrant's victims were at Al Noor mosque, he attacked a second mosque before being detained en route to a third. "I can say to the family of the terrorist that they have lost a son and we have lost many from our community too," Mr Fouda said."I respect them because they are suffering as we are."
Live reporting from the courtroom is banned, and other restrictions have been put in place on what the media can report.
