Accused in Lapu Lapu Day tragedy makes first court appearance

The man charged with eight counts of murder after 11 people were killed and several more injured at an outdoor Filipino community festival last Saturday has been sent for a psychiatric assessment.

Adam Kai-Ji Lo, 30, appeared by video in a courtroom at Vancouver provincial court on Friday afternoon, on a split screen with his lawyer, Mark Swartz, who also appeared via video from a different location.

Lo was wearing a red T-shirt and matching red bottoms and sat on a light blue bench in a brightly lit room at the jail where he is being held in.
