White Supremacist Killer Testifies He Was Radicalized by Conspiratorial Content Like Infowars
"The admitted white nationalist who killed a Muslim family said he was inspired by neo-Nazi terrorists and anti-Muslim rhetoric he found on conspiracy websites like Infowars.
Nathaniel Veltman, 22, is on his fifth day of testifying in the trial where he is facing four first-degree murder charges, one charge of an attempted murder charge, as well as terrorist charges. Veltman has pleaded not guilty to the charges but does not dispute that he ran down the family and wrote a racist manifesto just weeks before the killings. In a anti-Muslim screed he wrote before the killings, and in a police interrogation which was shown to the jury, Veltman said he hoped to inspire more white nationalist vehicle attacks.
On June 6, 2021, the accused, driving a pickup truck, ran down a family who were waiting to cross a street in London, Ontario, killing four of five of them. Salman Afzaal, 46, his wife Madiha Salman, 44, their 15-year-old daughter Yumna Afzaal, and Salman Afzaal's 74-year-old mother, Talat Afzaal, were all killed in the attack—only the family’s nine-year-old son survived."
