Police in Vancouver say the suspect in the April 26 vehicle-ramming attack on a Filipino street festival is now facing as many charges as the number of victims he is accused of killing.<\/p>\n
For months, 30-year-old Adam Kai-Ji Lo had only been facing eight charges. The VPD says Lo is facing 11 charges as of Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe additional charges were approved by the BC Prosecution Service following a review of evidence submitted by Vancouver Police Homicide investigators,\u201d said police.<\/p>\n
He remains in custody.<\/p>\n
In May, a provincial judge ordered a hearing to determine whether Lo is fit to stand trial.<\/p>\n
Lo\u2019s defence team requested the hearing, in light of a mental health assessment, and the crown agreed there are reasonable grounds that Lo is not fit to stand trial.<\/p>\n
The upcoming hearing to determine if he is fit to stand trial is expected to begin Wednesday and last two days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police in Vancouver say the suspect in the April 26 vehicle-ramming attack on a Filipino street festival is…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":84581,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[2147,50,12979],"class_list":{"0":"post-84580","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-canada","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-noads"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114899799627127506","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84580","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=84580"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84580\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/84581"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=84580"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=84580"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=84580"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
