Vancouver – Two forensic psychiatrists have concluded their testimony at a hearing to determine whether Vancouver’s Lapu Lapu de Festival was accused of killing 11 people.
Adam Kai-G Lov faces 11 cases of killing a second degree to run an SUV through a crowded road at the Philippino Festival on 26 April.
Dr. Robert Lacricks and Dr. Rakesh Lamb was called as an expert witness at the hearing of fitness, but a comprehensive publication restriction prevents testimony.
A media consortium that includes Canadian Press is a challenge for the publication ban that will be heard at a later date.
The ban, which was supported by the prosecutors, says the evidences arising at the hearing will not be published until the ban is lifted or after the end of the criminal trial.
However, along with the result of fitness hearing, the names and roles of the witnesses are also allowed to report.
Consortium counsel, Daniel Colls, has said that it will continue to argue to lift the ban.
While the evidence of the fitness hearing was concluded on Thursday, the verdict on the legal argument and fitness of low, while a separate case which is potentially relevant to their position, plays in Canada’s Supreme Court.
Legal arguments will be made at the later date in LO’s fitness hearing.
The Vancouver police on Tuesday announced that prosecutors had approved allegations of three additional second degrees murder against the LO, with a total count of 11, which matched the number of people who died in the attack.
This report of Canadian Press was first published on 24 June 2025.
