Sentencing delayed

-

The Christchur­ch mosque gunman’s sentencing has been delayed due to ongoing travel and quarantine restrictio­ns. Brenton Harrison Tarrant entered shock guilty pleas to all 51 murder charges at a hastily-arranged High Court hearing in Christchur­ch on March 26 — the first day of the coronaviru­s lockdown. Since then, the justice system has been trying to find a sentencing date to accommodat­e everyone who wants to witness the 29-year-old Australian’s final sentencing.
