The trial of a man facing terror-related murder charges in the 2021 deaths of four members of a Muslim family in London is set to start today.
Jury selection will begin for the trial of Nathaniel Veltman, who is accused of deliberately hitting several Afzaal family members with his truck as they were out for a walk on the evening of June 6th, 2021.
Superior Court Justice Renee Pomerance ruled last year that a change of venue is warranted in the case, moving the trial from London to Windsor.
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.
More details on the June 6th attack can be found in our previous stories.
