A family slain in a stabbing spree at an Ottawa home late Wednesday threw a birthday party for their alleged killer just days ago, says a religious leader who knew them.
The father who survived the attack in which his wife and four children were killed was in “great shock” on Thursday, said Bhante Suneetha.
The resident monk at Hilda Jayewardenaramaya Buddhist Monastery, which the family attended, said he visited his friend at the hospital.
