Opening statements in the trial of a man accused of killing three generations of a London, Ont. Muslim family with his pickup truck in June of 2021 will get underway on Monday.

Here’s what to expect.

The Crown and defence are expected to make their opening statements at the Windsor Superior Courthouse at 10 a.m. on Monday.

While it remains unclear how long opening statements will take, it’s expected that the Crown will then call its first witness afterwards.

In a statement posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, London Mayor Josh Morgan said that he, along with many other people throughout London and across the country, will be following the proceedings “with great interest.”

Much like how the community came together after the June 6, 2021 attack, Morgan asked the community to once again come together as the trial officially gets underway.
