Four members of a Muslim family were killed in a “premeditated” vehicle attack on Sunday, Canadian police say.
A pickup truck mounted the curb and hit the victims in the city of London, Ontario province. A boy aged nine, the family’s only survivor, is seriously injured in hospital.
A 20-year-old Canadian man has been charged with four counts of murder and one count of attempted murder.
Police believe the collision was a planned hate crime.
“It is believed that these victims were targeted because they were Muslim,” Detective Superintendent Paul Waight told a news conference.
Police are weighing possible
