A man who pleaded guilty to the incel-inspired murder of a North York massage parlour employee says he no longer hates women.
A man who pleaded guilty to the incel-inspired murder of a North York massage parlour employee apologized for the terrorist attack Thursday, saying he has changed in the three years since the killing and no longer hates women.The man apologized in court to the family and friends of 24-year-old Ashley Noelle Arzaga, who was killed in the February 2020 stabbing at a spa near Dufferin St. and Wilson Ave., as well as to a woman who was seriously injured.
Justice Sukhail Akhtar ruled in June that the attack amounted to an act of terrorism for its links to so-called “incel” ideology, short for the “involuntary celibate” fringe internet subculture dominated by men who blame women for their lack of sexual relations.It’s believed to be the first time in Canada that a court has made a finding of incel-motivated terrorist activity, a designation legal experts have said could force a reckoning of the courts’ definition of terrorism.
Igwe said the surviving victim, identified only by the initials J.C., managed to take the sword from the man, incapacitate him and leave him on the ground in the spa’s parking lot. The man later told paramedics he came to kill everyone, but was happy he got one, Igwe said.“The only reason the attack came to an end that day is because of the strength and heroism of Ms. J.C.,” Igwe said. The woman suffered stab wounds, lacerations to both hands and nerve damage in the attack.J.C.
Lawyer Monte MacGregor called the case “one of the worst, most horrific” he’s defended in his career. “ will say this is a complex, well thought-out plan that he undertook, but as you dig deeper into who he is, it’s sad and pathetic,” he said of his client.MacGregor described him as living alone in the basement of his father’s house at the time of the attack, after his parents’ divorce at a young age scarred him.
