Opening statements in the murder-terror trial of a 22-year-old man accused of killing four members of a Muslim family in London, Ont., will begin on Monday in Windsor after jury selection was completed.
Nathaniel Veltman has pleaded not guilty to four counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder in the attack on the Afzaal family on June 6, 2021.
He was arrested in the hours following the attack. The murder charges also include terrorism counts. That means Crown prosecutors must prove his actions were planned and deliberate, but also motivated by a political, religious or ideological cause.
