The Ottawa Police Service is investigating what it calls “hate-motivated graffiti” that occurred at the National War Memorial, the same site where Cpl. Nathan Cirillo was gunned down in October 2014 as he stood guard as an unarmed sentry.
Police said in a news release the suspect rode a bike to the memorial at approximately 9:46 p.m. on Oct. 16 and used a sharp object to engrave “hate graffiti” on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The suspect then left the area on his bike.
