On the first day of testimony at the 22-year-old's murder trial in Windsor, Crown prosecutors called three witnesses and laid out the evidence they'll present to the judge and jury in Ontario Superior Court.

Veltman is charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder as well as associated terror charges after the June 6, 2021, vehicle attack on the Afzaal family. He has pleaded not guilty.

Yumnah Afzaal, 15, her parents Madiha Salman, 44, and Salman Afzaal, 46, and family matriarch Talat Afzaal, 74, were killed. A nine-year-old boy survived.
