A Canadian dentist murd£red his two sons, then firebombed the practice where he worked and k!lled himself in a vehicle blaze two years after reportedly emailing his children’s mother that he would “k!ll everyone around her.”
Mohammed Al-Lami, 40, is believed to have murd£red his sons, aged 7 and 12, in his south Ottawa home before he was found d£ad in a vehicle fire in Kemptville on the morning of June 29, according to the Ottawa Police Service.
Police also linked Al-Lami to a blaze at the dental practice where he worked in Iroquois, according to cops and the CBC.
Al-Lami railed against his ex-wife and the criminal justice and family court systems in a multi-page handwritten note discovered on the desk in his office, the outlet reported.
He mentioned three people by name whom he viewed as corrupt, prompting authorities to rush to ensure they were safe, and ranted that his ex was the abuser in their relationship, the report added.
The deranged father was on active probation for threatening to cause bodily harm to his ex-wife and the mother of the two slain boys in 2024, according to court records obtained by the publication.
During a short trial in February this year, Al-Lami represented himself and rejected the court’s offer to resolve the matter with a one-year peace bond, the outlet reported.
His ex-wife, who has not been identified, told the courtroom that the couple were married and had two children before divorcing in 2022.
After that, the dentist stopped sending child support and sent a shocking email in 2024 with a slew of disturbing threats.
“I will k!ll everyone around you and your pimp … in a very wild and savage way. I won’t k!ll you. I will leave you alone, disabled in a wheelchair that you can’t move, even to visit your loved ones’ graves,” the letter said in part, per the outlet.
“I’ll make you an example of the unfair justice system. I will make you a worldwide story,” he said.
“When you do something wrong to me, you pay for it. You pay for it either through the child support or whatever I feel suitable to respond to your actions until I end it the way I like for you and [your] pig,” he wrote, referring to his ex’s current partner.
The woman testified that she was “astonished” by her ex-husband’s vile words, and had simply been asking him for the child support.
She said during cross-examination that she decided to come forward about the threatening email out of concern for her children and at her current partner’s request.
“I just felt, what if he literally, this happened? And then who’s going to be there for my kids if anything happened to me?” the mother said.
“I just don’t know what can happen. I just didn’t want to live with the unpredictability,” she testified, adding she hadn’t taken his previous threats seriously.
Al-Lami told the judge he “didn’t have anything to say” to the allegations. A judge later ordered him to serve 12 months of probation, denying the Crown’s requests for treatment programming and a DNA order.
Police said in a statement that they are continuing to investigate the murd£r-su!cide and will release more information once more “forensic examinations” are completed.
Authorities will not release the names of the children out of respect for their mother, whom they are “supporting” at this time.
“Incidents like this affect us all, and we acknowledge the shock and heartbreak many are experiencing as we work to understand what happened,” police wrote.
