CHRISTCHURCH, NEW ZEALAND - New Zealand mosque gunman Brenton Tarrant will be sentenced on Thursday over the attacks that killed 51 Muslim worshippers last year, with survivors demanding he remain behind bars"until his last gasp".

He is expected to become the first person in New Zealand imprisoned for life without the prospect of parole when judge Cameron Mander hands down his sentence. "He deserves not a life imprisonment term of 17, 25 or 30 years, but life imprisonment until his last gasp, his last breath," she told the court Wednesday.
