A white supremacist who killed 51 people at two New Zealand mosques has lost his bid to overturn his convictions and sentence . Brenton Tarrant is serving a life sentence with no parole after admitting to the murders and trying to kill another 40 worshippers in the March 2019 attack in Christchurch. During a week-long hearing in February, Tarrant, now 35, argued he was incapable of making rational decisions at the time of his plea because of "torturous and inhumane" conditions in prison. He also launched an appeal against his sentence. New Zealand's Court of Appeal rejected his bid on Thursday
