The officers who arrested the Christchurch Mosque shooter can finally move on with their lives

26 March 2020

In a surprise High Court hearing today - Brenton Tarrant pleaded guilty to 51 charges of murder, 40 of attempted murder, and one of terrorism.

After attacks on two mosques on March 15 last year - Tarrant was taken down by Senior Constable Jim Manning and Senior Constable Scott Carmody following a car chase.

Police Association President Chris Cahill says they're very relieved.

He says trials can be an ordeal for officers - and that's no longer hanging over their heads.
