Brenton Tarrant, 29, was convicted at the High Court in Christchurch on Thursday of 51 counts of murder, 40 of attempted murder, and one of terrorism.<\/p>\n\n

The sentence was unprecedented in New Zealand.<\/p>\n\n

Justice Cameron Mander said the finite term was not sufficient.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cYour crimes\u2026 are so wicked that even if you are detained until you die, it will not exhaust the requirements of punishment and denunciation,\u201d Mander said.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cAs far as I can discern, you are empty of any empathy for your victims,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThe hatred that lies at the heart of your hostility to particular members of the community that you came to this country to murder has no place here \u2014 it has no place anywhere,\u201d Mander said.<\/p>\n\n

Tarrant did not object to the sentence.<\/p>\n\n

On March 15, 2019, Tarrant opened fire on Muslim worshipers attending prayers at two mosques in Christchurch. He live-streamed parts of the shooting rampage on Facebook.<\/p>\n\n

Shortly before the terrorist attacks, he had published an ideological \u201cmanifesto\u201d filled with extreme views in which he described Muslim immigrants in Europe as \u201cinvaders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

The gunman had previously pleaded not guilty to all charges leveled against him, prompting anger from survivors and the relatives of those killed in the attacks.<\/p>\n\n

However, he made a surprise turnaround in March entering guilty pleas to all charges. The mosque attacks were New Zealand\u2019s worst-ever mass shooting. The violence prompted New Zealand\u2019s government to tighten the country\u2019s gun laws and review laws dealing with hate speech.<\/p>\n\n
