Wellington, Mar 21 (UNI): All 50 people killed in the attack on two mosques in New Zealand's city of Christchurch have been identified, New Zealand police commissioner Mike Bush said on Thursday.
"In terms of identification process of the 50 victims of this tragic terrorist event in Christchurch, I can say that, as of a few minutes ago, the identification process into all 50 victims has been completed and all of the next of kin have been advised," Bush told reporters.
