More than 12 hours after a Muslim family was struck by a truck in London on June 6, 2021, their accused killer sat shivering in a police interrogation room, telling a detective he didn’t have particularly strong connections with anyone. The police video was shown Monday at the murder-terror trial of Nathaniel Veltman in an Ontario court in Windsor.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    More than 12 hours after a Muslim family was struck by a truck in London, Ont., on June 6, 2021, their accused killer sat shivering in a police interrogation room, telling a detective he didn’t have particularly strong connections with anyone in his life.

    Veltman said he spent a lot of time on the internet doing “research” about what he called media dishonesty and the role of Western governments in covering up crimes committed by minorities against white people.

    Even online, the accused said, he didn’t interact with people who shared his views because he was worried about being put on a government watch list.

    Bourdeau had interviewed the accused — the detective balked when defence lawyer Christopher Hicks suggested it was an interrogation — two separate times following the attack: for about 2½ hours until close to 4 a.m., and again starting at around 9:30 a.m.

    Bourdeau denied Hicks’s suggestions that the overnight interview was an attempt to keep the accused “as uncomfortable as possible: giving [those in custody] no food, no water, a cement bed, keep them cold.”

    In it, the accused appears confident and happy to talk about his motivations for killing the family, including revenge and to send a warning to others who practise Islam.
