Psychiatrists testify in fitness hearing of man accused in Vancouver festival attack
VANCOUVER, CANADA, JUN 24 – Adam Kai-Ji Lo faces 11 second-degree murder charges after allegedly driving into a crowd at the Filipino festival, with expert psychiatrists testifying under a publication ban.
- On June 24, 2025, two forensic psychiatrists concluded their testimony at a Vancouver hearing, determining if Adam Kai-Ji Lo is fit to stand trial for killing 11 at the Lapu Lapu Day festival.
- Vancouver police announced Tuesday that prosecutors approved three additional second-degree murder charges against Lo, matching the 11 festival deaths on June 24, 2025.
- However, a sweeping publication ban backed by prosecutors prevents reporting on their testimony.
- Legal arguments and the ruling on Lo's fitness have been delayed pending a Supreme Court case, while a media consortium including The Canadian Press is challenging the ban as Daniel Coles, consortium's lawyer, vowed to press for its removal.
- Despite the publication ban, the outcome of Lo's fitness hearing and the names and roles of witnesses can be reported, and legal arguments will resume later.
