3 Nov
Summary
- Suspect Adam Lo denies 11 murder and 31 attempted murder charges.
- The trial for the 2025 vehicle-ramming attack is set for April 2027.
- A judge-only trial was chosen over a jury.
In Vancouver, Adam Kai-Ji Lo has entered a plea of not guilty to all 42 charges stemming from a vehicle-ramming attack at the Lapu Lapu Day festival in April 2025. The charges include 11 counts of second-degree murder and 31 counts of attempted murder.
Lo appeared by video conference to enter his pleas. He has elected to forgo a jury trial in favour of a judge-only proceeding. This trial is slated to begin on April 19, 2027, in the B.C. Supreme Court. Previously, his case moved from provincial court to the Supreme Court.
Earlier this year, a judge determined Lo was fit to stand trial following evaluations by two forensic psychiatrists. Details regarding the pretrial process are currently under a publication ban.
