WINDSOR, Ont.
— Mere minutes after driving his truck into a Muslim family out for an evening stroll, Nathaniel Veltman sped into a parking lot, pulled up near a cab and asked the driver to call 911, saying he had intentionally struck several people, his trial heard Tuesday.
"It was me. It was me that did it, so come and arrest me. It was me that crashed into them," the jury heard Veltman telling the 911 operator on the call that was placed on speaker phone.Prosecutors have alleged Veltman carried out an act of terrorism when he deliberately hit five members of the Afzaal family with his truck while they were out for a walk. The 22-year-old Veltman has pleaded not guilty to four counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder.
The video – extracted and edited from security camera footage from the mall – shows three police vehicles arriving about two minutes later, followed by more police vehicles minutes after that. Veltman later asked the cab driver to take a video of him while he was getting arrested and asked him again to take a video of him after he was arrested, court heard.
Veltman accelerated as he approached the family and data from his truck shows he steered to the right, aiming to hit the family just five seconds before striking them, the statement said.
