Canadian police have arrested a 23-year old Bangladeshi youth with suspected links to killing four members of his family, including parents, in that country, reports bdnews24.com.
The incident took place at a house in the Markham suburb of Toronto around 3pm (local time) on Castlemore Ave on Sunday, according to York Police spokesman Andy Pattenden.
The arrestee has been identified as Menhaz Zaman, son of Mohammad Moniruz Zaman who migrated to Canada decades ago from Tangail in Bangladesh.
Menhaz along with his mother Momotaz Mukta Zaman, sister Malesa, 21, and grandmother lived in the house.
Menhaz was charged with four counts of first-degree murder appeared calm in court Monday, days after a player in an online gaming forum messaged others saying he'd dropped out of university and felt like a "pathetic coward subhuman" who'd disappointed his parents, according to The Star, a Canadian newspaper.
York Regional Police charged him after four bodies were found at the house on Sunday afternoon.
The police haven't confirmed the identities of the victims or their relationship to the accused but did say they are three women and a man.
The Star has seen images of messages posted on the Discord forum "Perfect World Void" that were sent to a user who often played online games with a player using the name "Menhaz."
Discord is an online community used by millions of people around the world to communicate about their favourite games. The Star is choosing not to publish the disturbing messages in full.
The postings describe that he lied to his parents about going to university, and dropped out of a mechanical engineering programme after failing classes in his first year. He became depressed, and lost faith in God.
