A Kiwi teenager radicalised online planned to ram a car into a group of people in Christchurch and then stab them.
The teenager wrote a goodbye note to his mother, then started a violent incident, but has since told a psychologist when it began he "decided not to hurt anybody because he did not have the means to kill enough people", Crown prosecutor Chris Lange told the Christchurch District Court at sentencing on Thursday.
"The reason no-one was hurt was that he did not have access to knives," Lange said. But there was significant premeditation, and hostility towards non-Muslims.
