Prosecutors allege Nathaniel Veltman – who has pleaded not guilty to four counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder – committed an act of terrorism
The man accused of killing four members of a Muslim family in Ontario told police hours after his attack that he had been motivated by white nationalist beliefs he had kept private in order to avoid detection by authorities, his trial heard Monday.
In video played at the trial on Monday, Veltman is seen telling London police detective Micah Bourdeau that he is a white nationalist who wants white people to have autonomy over their own countries. “That would have been a stupid thing to do. I would have just gotten caught,” he said. “This was lone wolf.”
Jurors at the trial were shown video last week of Veltman telling police his attack was politically motivated and “was terrorism.” 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 attack. The couple’s nine-year-old son was also seriously hurt but survived.
