The accused in the deadly Vancouver Lapu Lapu Day festival attack will be getting a psychiatric assessment.
Kai-Ji Adam Lo, who is facing eight counts of second-degree murder, was ordered to have an in-custody assessment during a court appearance on Friday in Vancouver provincial court.
The court has allowed media to publicly report on the psychiatric assessment, however, the basis for the assessment and why it's necessary, or where it will happen, remains under a publication ban.
Lo first appeared in court on Sunday, but Friday's (May 2) appearance for a judicial interim release was under a publication ban. His next appearance is set for May 2, also under a publication ban.
More to come.
