A 22-year-old Canadian white supremacist was convicted of four counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder for driving his pickup truck into a Muslim family out for a walk in London, Ontario in June 2021, the CBC reports. Nathaniel Veltman will be sentenced to mandatory prison time without the possibility of parole for 25 years.
Yumnah Afzaal, 15, her parents Madiha Salman, 44, and Salman Afzaal, 46, and family matriarch Talat Afzaal, 74 were all killed after, prosecutors claimed, Veltman floored the accelerator of his pickup truck and aimed it at the family, who was out for their traditional evening walk.
