Ten people were killed and 16 others were injured when a man deliberately drove a rental van down a busy sidewalk on a stretch of Toronto’s Yonge Street on April 23, 2018
An indoor memorial ceremony is set to be held this afternoon, before an outdoor commemoration at Mel Lastman Square, where flowers are set to be laid at a temporary memorial plaque.Betty Forsyth, Ji Hun Kim, Sohe Chung, Geraldine Brady, Chul Min Kang, Anne Marie D’Amico, Munir Najjar, Dorothy Sewell, Andrea Bradden and Renuka Amarasingha died in the April, 2018, attack.Alek Minassian was found guilty of 10 counts of first-degree murder and 16 counts of attempted murder in the attack.
He claimed at his trial to be angered by women who wouldn’t sleep with him and radicalized on the internet – the presiding judge found he carried out the van attack to achieve notoriety. Minassian was sentenced to life in prison last year with no possibility of parole for 25 years. He’s appealing his conviction.
Toronto residents who live and work in the area where the attack took place five years ago say they still have vivid memories of the rampage and the devastation it brought. The City of Toronto says plans for a permanent memorial honouring the lives lost in the attack are still being finalized.
