By Canadian Press on January 16, 2026.

VANCOUVER — The suspect in last year’s Lapu Lapu festival attack is attending a sentencing hearing in Vancouver for the killer of his brother, who died in 2024.

A Crown lawyer says Adam Kai-Ji Lo is observing via a video link, with his microphone muted, as the B.C. Supreme Court hears a statement of facts about the killing of Alexander Lo at the hands of Dwight Kematch, who has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.

More coming.
