In March 2019, 51 worshipers were killed in two mosques in the New Zealand city of Kreyschids, according to a judiciary spokeswoman today, Tuesday.
The episode involving this group shooting was the worst in New Zealand’s recorded history.
There is currently no session of the appeal, according to Chris Abraham, a spokesman for the Court of Appeal, who spoke to Reuters.
Bernon Tarant, who killed 51 people and attempted to kill an additional 40 at two mosques in Kreystech, the biggest city on New Zealand’s southern island, was given a life sentence without the possibility of parole in 2020.
This was the first instance in which a New Zealand court sentenced someone to life in prison.
Tony Elis, Tarant’s attorney at the time, stated in November 2021 that his client was thinking about appealing the decision and that his admission of guilt was the result of coercion.
Ellis informed “Reuters” in an email on Tuesday that he no longer represented Tarant.
Australian citizen Tarant attacked the mosques, opened shot randomly on the Muslims assembled for Friday prayers, and streamed the killings live using a camera hidden within his skull.
The worst incident in New Zealand’s history.
