The man accused of killing four members of a Muslim family in an alleged act of terrorism is set to testify in his trial.
Nathaniel Veltman's defence lawyer says today that his client will be called to the stand in the Windsor, Ont., courtroom where the trial is taking place.
Veltman is accused of deliberately hitting the Afzaal family with his truck in June 2021 while they were out for a walk in London, Ont.
He has pleaded not guilty to four counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder.
Jurors have seen video of Veltman telling a detective he had been motivated by white nationalist beliefs and that his attack was politically motivated.
The case is the first where Canada's terrorism laws are being put before a jury in a first-degree murder trial.
