CHRISTCHURCH: New Zealand mosque gunman Brenton Tarrant will be sentenced on Thursday over the attacks that killed 51 Muslim worshippers last year, with survivors demanding he remain behind bars"until his last gasp".
He is expected to become the first person in New Zealand imprisoned for life without the prospect of parole when judge Cameron Mander hands down his sentence. But Hamimah Tuyan, whose husband Zekeriya died of his wounds 48 days after the attack, said it would be an injustice if Mander did not exercise the court's full powers to impose an unprecedented sentence."He deserves not a life imprisonment term of 17, 25 or 30 years, but life imprisonment until his last gasp, his last breath," she told the court Wednesday.
"It will be a grave injustice, your honour, if he is ever given a second chance to walk in society again.""I have faith that when judgement day comes tomorrow his punishment will represent the people of New Zealand's repulsion for, and denunciation of, murder and evil white-supremacist ideology," she said.
