5 Canadian soldiers suspended after Nazi salute video emerges
The Canadian Army is now dealing with another incident of alleged hateful conduct that involves Quebec-based soldiers caught on video allegedly partying while some people at the event delivered Nazi salutes. In a statement, Lt.-Gen. Mike Wright, the commander of the army, said the video was brought to his attention on Aug. 6, and an immediate internal investigation was launched "to determine the breadth and scope of the incident." Military police have also been notified, he added. Although the video shows several individuals, Wright said at least five of them have been identified as serving members of the Canadian Army. Those soldiers have been suspended from military duties pending an investigation by the unit. "One individual can be seen performing drill in front of the Royal 22e Régiment flag and then consuming a substance," Wright said in the written statement. "At one point in the video, other individuals perform the Nazi salute. Although I have been made aware that these events happened in 2023, these members remain subject to administrative and disciplinary action that may lead to their release." The statement, released by the Department of National Defence on Tuesday, was light on specifics and didn't say whether the accused soldiers were all regular or reserve force members, nor precisely how the video came to the army's attention. 4 charged in separate case Earlier this summer, a terrorism case emerged in Quebec where two serving soldiers, a former member and a civilian who is also a former cadet instructor, were accused in an extremist, anti-government plot that allegedly involved taking over a parcel of land. The men are accused of stockpiling an arsenal of highly restricted weapons and military equipment, including some of the latest night-vision gear. The department said none of the equipment came from its inventory. The RCMP in July charged Simon Angers-Audet, 24, Raphaël Lagacé, 25, and Marc-Aurèle Chabot, 24, with facilitating a terrorist activity, and other offences related to the illegal storage of firearms and possession of explosives and prohibited devices. A fourth man — Matthew Forbes, 33 — is accused of weapons offences. DND has acknowledged that Forbes and Chabot were active members of the military at the time of their arrest on July 8. In addition, two investigations, one internal and one by military police, are underway into a separate incident involving a now-defunct Facebook group where members of the Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa (Duke of Edinburgh's Own) allegedly posted hateful and inappropriate content. "Hateful conduct and extremism have no place in the Canadian Army. It hurts our ability to recruit the best of Canada, to maintain credibility to deliver on operations, and it erodes public trust in our institution," Wright said in his statement. "Canadian Army members who jeopardize that trust and participate in hateful conduct will face the consequences of their actions.''

94-year-old's death thought to be natural, CA cops say. Video showed it wasn't
A man has been arrested in the death of his father-in-law that was initially thought to be of natural causes, California deputies said. Khanh Trong Tran, 71, of Santa Rosa, was arrested on a murder charge in the death of Sy Van Nguyen, 94, on Saturday, Aug. 16, the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office said in a Facebook post. Attorney information for Tran was not immediately available. Tran called 911 on Monday, Aug. 11, and said Nguyen was unresponsive, according to deputies. Deputies said they and the Sonoma County Fire District arrived at the Santa Rosa home, where 'Nguyen was pronounced dead.' With 'no signs of trauma or foul play,' deputies said Nguyen's body was released to his family. Then, days later, deputies said they were given evidence that showed Nguyen's 'death was not natural, but instead an intentional killing.' Sgt. Juan Valencia told KGO-TV that the room where Nguyen was had surveillance cameras, and when Nguyen's son felt something was off, he took a look at the video. 'It captured the entire thing,' Valencia told The Press Democrat. On the video footage, Nguyen's son saw someone 'basically grab a plastic bag and a pillow, put it over the victim's face, suffocating him on camera,' Valencia told KGO-TV. Through an investigation, Tran was identified as a suspect and a warrant for his arrest was issued, deputies said. Detectives also got a search warrant for the property where Tran and Nguyen lived in separate dwellings, 'but Tran was not home,' deputies said. Deputies said they found Tran inside a car about 5 miles from his home just after 4 a.m. Aug. 16 following an extensive search. According to detectives, Tran killed Nguyen because he saw him as a 'financial burden and no longer wanted to provide the intensive care Nguyen required,' Valencia told The Press Democrat. 'This is a straight up, cold malice murder,' Valencia told KGO-TV. A criminal complaint against Tran was filed Aug. 18 and includes charges of murder and personally using a deadly weapon, court records show. Tran is being held without bail and was scheduled to appear in court Aug. 19, jail records show. Santa Rosa is about a 55-mile drive north from San Francisco.
