A criminal defence lawyer says a trial for the suspect in Monday's fatal van attack in Toronto could be affected by a Toronto Sun article about the man.
The article on Alek Minassian is accompanied by a photograph of an inmate that the newspaper claims is the 25-year-old inside the Toronto South Detention Centre.
Anonymous sources are quoted as saying that while in custody, Minassian allegedly said he had no regrets for the victims and he wished he had been shot by police.
A spokesman for the provincial Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services says publicly sharing photos or information about an inmate is unacceptable conduct, and the government has launched an investigation.
