QUEBEC—The man who killed six Muslims in a Quebec City mosque last year as they attended prayer is seeking forgiveness for his acts and says it was “as though I was battling a demon that finished by winning out.”

“Every minute of my existence I bitterly regret what I did, the lives I have destroyed, the pain and suffering I have caused to so many people, without forgetting the members of my own family,'' Alexandre Bissonnette said as he read out a letter in court on March 28.
