The seventh week of the Nathaniel Veltman murder trial got underway on Monday with the accused resuming his testimony and telling the court how he debated targeting Muslims in Toronto the day before the attack on the Afzaal family in London.

Here’s what you missed.

Veltman took the stand for a third day on Monday during a shortened day in court and told the jury he drove to Toronto the day before the attack on the Afzaal family.

“I did know there was a large Muslim population there,” he explained, and added that he was also wore his body armour vest at the time.

“At one point I came across a group of Muslims…I had an urge to step on the gas,” he said. Veltman then testified that he didn’t go through with it and was “fighting and panicking,” and then “drove away from them as fast as I could.”
