A Canadian man who allegedly killed a Muslim family from Pakistan when he drove his car into the four victims in London, Ontario has pleaded not guilty.
The same family's three generations were out for a stroll in 2021 when 22-year-old Nathaniel Veltman allegedly ran them over with the intention of deliberately assaulting the family due to their religious views.
Veltman has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder; the jury selection procedure for the trial has started.
Veltman maintained his silence in court throughout his trial, according to CBC News.
Veltman's charges include terrorism counts which means that the prosecution must show that the defendant's conduct was motivated by a political, religious, or ideological cause in addition to being deliberate and determined.
