Jury selection got underway at the Windsor Superior Courthouse for the trial of a 22-year-old man charged with killing three generations of a London Muslim family with his pickup truck.
In June of 2021, five members of the Afzaal family were out for a summer walk along Hyde Park Road in west London when they were run down.
Four people died, including father Salman, mother Madiha, 15-year-old daughter Yumna, and grandmother Talat.
The lone survivor was a nine-year-old boy who was injured, and has since recovered and is now living with relatives.
Moments after the crash, London police arrested and charged Nathaniel Veltman. He has pleaded not guilty to four counts of first degree murder and one count of attempted murder.
At the time, police and politicians called the incident hated motivated.
Before the proceedings got underway, the National Council of Canadian Muslims addressed the media on hand.
