Kanada haat misdaad bestuurder wat vermoor 4 lede van die Moslem-gesin het hulle oor geloof geteiken: cops

'N 20-jarige man wat 'n frokkie dra “soos lyfwapens” het Sondagaand van die slagting gevlug, maar is in 'n winkelsentrum ongeveer vier kilometer van die kruising in Londen in hegtenis geneem, Ontario, Detective Superintendent Paul Waight said Monday.

Nathaniel Veltman, of London, faces four counts of first-degree moord. Police said he did not know the victims.

“There is evidence that this was a planned, premeditated act, motivated by hate. It is believed that these victims were targeted because they were Muslim,” Waight told reporters, noting that the suspect’s social media postings were reviewed by police, AFP reported.

He said investigators had not determined if the suspect was a member of any specific hate group — and added that police were working with federal authorities to see about potential terrorism charges.

The hospitalized boy was identified as Fayez.
