Canada has been rocked by a horrific mass killing of a newly migrated family from Sri Lanka with six people stabbed to death in the capital city of Ottawa.
'Terrible tragedy': Family of fresh Sri Lankan migrants to Canada stabbed to death in Ottawa in city's worst case of mass killings
A mother, her four young children - all aged under 10 - and a family acquaintance living at the home were among the victims. Ottawa Police confirmed the family was of Sri Lankan descent and had just recently moved to Canada from the South Asian country. The youngest of the murder victims was a two-month-old infant. The five others were children aged two, four, and seven, along with the mother, 35, and a 40-year-old man. I was devastated to learn of the multiple homicide in Barrhaven, one of the most shocking incidents of violence in our city's history. We are proud to live in a safe community but this news is distressing to all Ottawa residents.
