VANCOUVER — The murderer of a young man whose brother was later arrested for the Lapu Lapu festival attack that killed 11 people last year says it was a “ripple effect” from his own crime.
Dwight Kematch, who has pleaded guilty to the January 2024 second-degree murder of Alexander Lo, told his B.C. Supreme Court sentencing hearing in Vancouver that what followed the killing was a “horrendous tragedy.”
The hearing is being attended virtually by Adam Kai-Ji Lo, who is charged with 11 counts of murder over the April 2025 festival attack.
More coming.
