The trial of an Ontario man accused of killing four members of a Muslim family in an alleged act of terrorism is set to hear more evidence from the defence today.
Nathaniel 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.
Veltman told the jury on Wednesday that he was considering using his pickup truck, which he bought a month earlier, to carry out an attack and looked up information online about what happens when pedestrians get struck by cars.
Veltman also told the jury on Tuesday that he felt an ``urge'' to hit the family with his truck after seeing them walking on a sidewalk.
Jurors have previously seen video of Veltman telling a detective that his attack had been motivated by white nationalist beliefs.
