A 19-year-old Sri Lankan national, identified as Frank Desouza, has been arrested in Ottawa, Canada, and charged with six counts of first-degree murder, including four children.
The victims, a family from Sri Lanka, were found in their home after police responded to two 911 calls reporting a suspicious incident.
The youngest victim was less than 3 months old.
The motive for the crime remains unknown, and the investigation is ongoing, with Ottawa police emphasizing the need to determine all facts while maintaining the integrity of the case for court proceedings.
