A New Zealand judge sentenced white supremacist Brenton Tarrant to life in prison without parole on Thursday for killing 51 Muslim worshippers in the country's deadliest shooting, saying the sentence was not enough punishment for the "wicked" crimes.
It was the first time a court in New Zealand had sentenced a person to prison for the rest of their life.
"Your crimes...are so wicked that even if you are detained until you die it will not exhaust the requirements of punishment and denunciation," said the judge in handing down the sentence.
"As far as I am able to gauge, you are empty of any empathy for your victims," he said.
