Jury selection is expected to get underway next Tuesday for the murder trial of Nathaniel Veltman.
The 22 year old is charged in connection with the deaths of four members of the Afzaal family, who were struck by a pickup truck in June of 2021.
The family was out on an evening walk along Hyde Park Road in west London when the crash occurred, sending shockwaves across the Muslim community and around the world.
Four members of the Afzaal family died — a father, mother, daughter and grandmother. The lone survivor was a nine year old boy, who is now 11 years of age, and is being cared for by relatives.
Moments after the crash, Veltman was arrested approximately four kilometres away from the scene in a shopping mall parking lot off of Oxford Street West.
He faces four counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder.
Last fall, a change of venue was granted by Justice Renee Pomerance, which moved the trial to Windsor.
