The Australian terrorist convicted of the 2019 Christchurch mosque shootings will be sentenced in during an expected three-day court sitting beginning August 24.

New Zealand High Court Justice Cameron Mander announced the sentencing date, which had been delayed due to COVID-19, on Friday.

Brenton Tarrant, who confessed to the crimes in March, is expected to be sentenced to life in jail for 51 counts of murder, 40 counts of attempted murder and one count of terrorism.
