Nathaniel Veltman, 23, avait fauché cinq membres de la famille Afzaal à London, dans la province of l'Ontario. Seul le garçon de neuf ans, grièvement blessé, a survécu.
The killing is one of the deadliest attacks against Muslims in Canada with the shooting at the Quebec mosque, which left six dead in 2017. The author of this attack has not been charged of an act of terrorism.
