Youth found guilty in a 2023 plot to kill Jewish people in Ottawa

Ontario Superior Court Justice Kerry McVey found the youth guilty of conspiracy to commit murder through involvement with a terrorist group. The judge also found him guilty of facilitating terrorist activity by seeking a prohibited firearm.

The judge concluded he conspired with his co-accused and another person who was not charged in a plan to kill innocent people. He had pleaded not guilty to all three charges.

Background

Both young people cannot legally be identified because of their age. His trial began in April, a day after his co-accused was found guilty on four charges.
