A tragic incident in Ottawa saw six people from Sri Lanka, including a mother and four young children, fatally knifed. The 19-year-old suspect, Febrio De-Zoysa, a Sri Lankan student, has been charged with six counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder. The victims, including a 35-year-old woman and her children, were known to the suspect. Ottawa Mayor called it one of the city's most shocking incidents, emphasizing the rarity of such violence in Canada. The attack occurred in Barrhaven, and the motive remains unclear. Mass killings in Canada are infrequent, with 14 murders in Ottawa in 2023.
