London terror attack: Nathaniel Veltman sentenced to 25 years in prison without parole

A man who killed four members of a Muslim family and injured a fifth in London, Ont., committed an act of terrorism, and was sentenced to 25 years in prison without parole, an Ontario superior court justice concluded Thursday.

Nathaniel Veltman, 23, was found guilty on four counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder in November, with jurors returning to a packed courtroom in Windsor, Ont., after less than six hours of deliberation.

Veltman purposefully drove his truck into the Afzaal family on June 6, 2021. Salman Afzaal, 46; his 44-year-old wife, Madiha Salman; their 15-year-old daughter, Yumna; and her 74-year-old grandmother, Talat Afzaal, were killed in the attack, while the couple’s nine-year-old son was seriously hurt but survived.
