The trial for Adam Kai-Ji Lo, who is facing 11 counts of second-degree murder in the 2025 Lapu Lapu festival attack in Vancouver, has been set to start on April 19, 2027.
Lo has elected against facing a jury in favour of a judge-only trial in British Columbia’s Supreme Court.
The details were set at a case-management conference in the same court in Vancouver on Wednesday, with the trial period scheduled to last to Aug. 25 next year.
Lo appeared at the conference via video, wearing a black short-sleeve shirt and remaining largely motionless, only responding with one-word responses and short phrases.
He is also facing 31 attempted murder charges stemming from the April 26, 2025 attack, in which an SUV drove through the crowd at the Vancouver festival hosted by the city’s Filipino community.
A publication ban has been imposed on details of the pretrial process.
