New Zealand mosque shooter pleads guilty to all charges
Updated | By AFP
The Australian accused of carrying out last year's mass shooting at two New
Zealand mosques that claimed 51 lives pleaded guilty to all charges on Thursday in
a surprise change of mind, police said.
"The guilty pleas to 51 charges of murder, 40 charges of attempted murder and one charge of engaging in a terrorist act were taken via an audio-visual link from Auckland Prison," commissioner Mike Bush said in a statement.
The shootings last March by self-avowed white supremacist Brenton Tarrant targeted Muslims at Friday prayers and were the worst mass shootings in modern New Zealand history.
