Christchurch: An Australian assailant who indiscriminately shot dead 50 worshipers at two mosques in New Zealand will be sentenced to death on August 24.
According to the World News Agency, Justice Cameron Mander of the Supreme Court of New Zealand has sentenced Brenton Tarant, an Australian citizen involved in the attack on mosques, to death and set August 24 as the date for his execution.
Explaining the reason for the delay in the date of execution, the prosecutor said that the families of the martyrs in the mosques were not present in New Zealand at the moment and could not return immediately due to the Corona epidemic.
The prosecutor added that if the family could not reach New Zealand by August 24 due to the Corona epidemic, the presence of the family would be ensured through video conferencing at the time of the execution. Brenton was charged earlier this year with 51 counts of murder and 40 counts of attempted murder.
It should be noted that on March 15 last year, an Australian white Christian Christian opened indiscriminate firing on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, Masjid Al Noor and Linwood Mosque, killing 51 worshipers and injuring 40 others.
