An Indo-Canadian truck driver, Jaskirat Sidhu (29), has been detained and charged mass murdering in Canada. Sixteen members of a youth ice hockey team, the Humboldt Broncos, had died and 13 others were injured when their bus collided with a truck driven by Sidhu on April 6.
The accident set off days of nationwide mourning, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attending the memorial service for the dead.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said investigators from its Major Crime Unit arrested Sidhu from his home in Calgary in the western province of Alberta. The apprehension was “without incident”.
