A man whose wife was killed in the Christchurch attack as she rushed back into a mosque to rescue him said he harbours no hatred toward the gunman, insisting forgiveness is the best path forward.
Ahmad, 59, who has been confined to a wheelchair since being hit by a drunk driver in 1998, believes he escaped the hail of bullets because the gunman was focused on other targets.
Ahmad, who was a butcher but now sells homeopathy products, did not see his wife when he left the mosque and only learnt of her death after someone photographed her body. Australian suspect Brenton Tarrant has yet to enter a plea in the single murder charge brought against him so far. In the 74-page screed, he says he first began considering an attack in April and May of 2017 while travelling in France and elsewhere in Western Europe.
