"He blocked us": Man accused in shocking Ottawa homicide had changed recently, family says

The 19-year-old Sri Lankan national charged in what police have called one of the worst mass killings in Ottawa’s recent history has family in the city who say his behaviour recently changed.

Ottawa police allege Febrio De-Zoysa murdered a mother, her four children including a two-and-a-half-month-old along with a family acquaintance.

De-Zoysa is facing six counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder. The father, identified in court documents as Dhanushka Wickramasinghe, suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries.

“I’m still shaking, that family was so nice to him,” his aunt Anusha De-Zoysa told Global News Friday. “They were such a wonderful family.”

Mackenzie Gray has more.
