"This man is not one of us but that didn't stop him from slaughtering us" - just some of the many strong words directed to the Christchurch mosque gunman on Tuesday.

It's the second day of sentencing for Brenton Tarrant, who's pleaded guilty to 51 charges of murder, 40 charges of attempted murder, one of engaging in a terrorist act.
