“In one fell swoop he decimated an entire generation of the Neville-Lake family,” Fuerst said in her ruling.
Daniel Neville-Lake, 9, his brother Harrison, 5, their sister Milly, 2, and the kids’ 65-year-old grandfather were all killed on Sept. 27, 2015 after the mini-van they were in was struck by another vehicle at the intersection of Kipling Avenue and Kirby Road northeast of Kleinburg, Ont.
