LONDON, Ont. – A man facing terrorism charges for allegedly targeting and killing a Muslim family with his truck in southwestern Ontario has had his case adjourned for two weeks.
Nathaniel Veltman, 20, of London, Ont., has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder in what prosecutors say was an act of terrorism.
Police allege the June 6 attack was motivated by Veltman’s hate against the Islamic faith.
Salman Afzaal, 46, his 44-year-old wife Madiha Salman, their 15-year-old daughter Yumna and her 74-year-old grandmother, Talat Afzaal, were killed while out for an evening walk.
The couple’s nine-year-old son, Fayez, was seriously hurt.
The prosecution says more disclosure on the case will be handed over to the defence in the coming days.
