Husband of slain woman says forgives NZ mosque gunman

A man whose 44-year-old wife was killed in the Christchurch mosque attack as she rushed back in to rescue him said he harbours no hatred toward the gunman, insisting forgiveness is the best path forward.

"I would say to him 'I love him as a person'," Farid Ahmad told AFP.

Asked if he forgave the 28-year-old white supremacist suspect, he said: "Of course.

The best thing is forgiveness, generosity, loving and caring, positivity."
She was busy saving lives, forgetting about herself."
"This guy was shooting one person two, three times, probably that gave some time to us to move out.. even the dead he was shooting them again."
"Her picture was out in the social media, so somebody showed me the picture and I identified quite easily."
