New Zealand police on Thursday said that all 50 victims of last week's terror attack in Christchurch had now been identified, allowing burials to take place.
"I can say that as of a few minutes ago the identification process and to all 50 victims has been completed and all of the next of kin have been advised," said Commissioner Mike Bush. "That is a landmark for this process."
