The trial of the man facing terror-related murder charges in relation to last year’s van attack in London, Ontario, will go ahead in a different city.
An Ontario judge has ruled a new venue is warranted in the case of Nathaniel Veltman.
Veltman is accused of deliberately using his truck to hit four members of a Muslim family while they were out for an evening walk last June.
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.
Back in March of this year, court documents did reveal hate-related material on a laptop found in the apartment of Veltman.
A new location has not been set but the case is expected to head to trial in September 2023.
More details on the incident can be found in our previous stories.
