WINDSOR, Ont. — Arguments are now underway at the trial of a man facing terror-related murder charges in the deaths of four members of a Muslim family in Ontario.
Nathaniel Veltman is accused of deliberately hitting members of the Afzaal family with his truck while they were out for a walk in London, Ont., on the evening of June 6, 2021.
Veltman, who wore an over-sized wrinkled black suit and white shirt, sat quietly in court but his hand was shaking when he tried to pour water in a paper cup on his desk. His lawyer Peter Ketcheson took the jug and filled his cup with some water.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 in the London attack. The couple's nine-year-old son was also seriously hurt but survived.
The attack on the Afzaal family sent waves of shock, grief and fear across Canada and spurred ongoing calls for measures to combat Islamophobia in the country.
