The browser stores the state that a page was requested with. If at this point, the user clicks refresh in their browser, then a browser will typically resubmit the form, which is sub-optimal. By redirecting to the appropriate page, you avoid this issue. A common pattern with CRUD like queries is to redirect after any modifying action, even if it is to the same page.
