A 24-year-old Canadian actor and former “Riverdale” star allegedly plotted to kill Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau after murdering his own mother, prosecutors said Monday. Ryan Grantham pleaded guilty in March to fatally shooting his mother, Barbara Waite, in the back of the head while she played piano in 2020, according to CBC. The day after the murder, Grantham allegedly drove “with three guns, ammunition, 12 Molotov cocktails, camping supplies” and a map showing the directions to the residence of Trudeau, according to the outlet. Grantham reportedly wrote in his journal after the murder, saying, “I’m so sorry mom, I’m so sorry Lisa … I hate myself. Second-degree murder comes with a life sentence, and the sentencing hearing is expected to end this week, according to CBC.
