Four days of almost unendurable hearings at the barricaded court in New Zealand, ended overnight with a sentence of life in prison for Brenton Tarrant, without the chance of parole

Janna Ezat described having her son Hussein’s body returned to her still punctured with bullet holes on her birthday. “He used to give me flowers for my birthday,” she said, “but instead I got his body.” Even then, Ezat forgave her son’s killer. “I decided to forgive you Mr Tarrant because I don't have hate. I don't have revenge.” Dr Maysoon Salama lost her son, too. “What was in his mind when he realised he is departing this life to his last journey?” she asked.
