Veltman sentenced to life in prison, attack on Muslim family deemed terrorism
Nathaniel Veltman has been sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years and a concurrent life sentence for the attempted murder of a boy who survived the 2021 attack.
In handing down her sentence, Justice Renee Pomerance ruled that Veltman's actions amounted to terrorist activity.
The 23-year-old was found guilty in November of four counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder for hitting the Afzaal family with his truck while they were out for a walk on June 6, 2021.
The case was the first time Canada’s terrorism laws were put before a jury in a first-degree murder trial.
