Cross-examination of the accused continued Wednesday. Four members of a Muslim family were killed and a fifth injured in the June 6, 2021 attack in London, Ont.
The Crown continued its cross examination of Nathaniel Veltman on Wednesday with the accused backtracking his initial statements to London police following the June 2021 attack on the Afzaal family. Here’s what you missed.
In his initial police statements, Veltman talked about being inspired by other terrorist acts and hoping he would inspire others with his actions in London. At his trial, more than two years and four months later, Veltman told the jury, None of my justifications make any sense.
In her cross-examination of Nathaniel Veltman, Crown prosecutor Jennifer Moser pointed out his words in the hours after four members of a London, Ont., family died in an attack in 2021, when he said he had been planning to kill Muslims for three months. The 22-year-old has been testifying in his murder-terror trial in an Ontario Court in Windsor.
