June 6, 2022 marks the one year anniversary of the murder of four members of the Afzaal family in London, Ontario.

The Afzaal family was taking an evening stroll when they were struck down at the intersection of Hyde Park Road and South Carriage Road.

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.

.

The couple's nine-year-old son was seriously hurt but survived.

Nathaniel Veltman, 21, is facing four counts of first-degree murder, one count of attempted murder, and associated terrorism charges. Veltman's trial begins on Sept. 5, 2023, with 12 weeks set aside for the proceedings. The trial will be presided by Justice Renee M. Pomerance.
