Tragic Incident in Ottawa, Canada

Six Sri Lankan nationals, including a two-and-a-half-month-old baby girl and three other children, were tragically stabbed to death in Ottawa, Canada. The suspect, identified as 19-year-old Febrio De-Zoysa, has been charged with six counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder. The police chief, Eric Stubbs, described the incident as a “senseless act of violence” that targeted innocent people.

Details of the Attack

The victims, who had recently arrived in Canada, included a 35-year-old mother, a 7-year-old son, a 4-year-old daughter, a 2-year-old daughter, and the two-and-a-half-month-old baby girl, as well as a 40-year-old acquaintance of the family. When police arrived at the scene, the father of the family was outside, calling for help. He was taken to the hospital with serious injuries but is expected to survive.

Response from Sri Lanka’s High Commission

The Sri Lankan high commission is in touch with relatives of the victims in Colombo. De-Zoysa appeared in court and was ordered not to speak to witnesses or the surviving family member. The case has been adjourned to give him time to find legal representation.

Reactions from Officials

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expressed shock and horror at the violence, while Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe called the news devastating for the city’s residents. The victims have been identified, and police have assured the public that there is no ongoing threat to safety.

This tragic incident has sent shockwaves through Ottawa and beyond, highlighting the need for community support and solidarity in the face of senseless violence. Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of the victims during this difficult time.
