A 24-year-old woman was killed and another was injured in the stabbing attack
Canadian authorities said a stabbing at an erotic massage parlour that left a woman dead and another injured was an act of terrorism inspired by violent misogynist ideology.
A 17-year-old boy, whose name has not been released because he’s a minor, was charged with murder and attempted murder after the Feb. 24 stabbing at Crown Spa in Toronto. Police updated his charges on Tuesday to include a terrorism charge. The attack “was inspired by the Ideologically Motivated Violent Extremist movement commonly known as INCEL,”. “As a result, federal and provincial Attorney Generals have consented to commence terrorism proceedings, alleging that the murder was terrorist activity … and the attempted murder was terrorist activity.”
