Accused killer at Lapu Lapu festival was in care of Vancouver mental health team: province

The suspect in the Lapu Lapu festival tragedy in Vancouver was under the care of a mental health team at the time.

The Ministry of Health confirmed on Tuesday that 30-year-old Kai-Ji Adam Lo was under the care of Vancouver Coastal Health’s (VCH) mental health team and was being supervised under the Mental Health Act.

“The individual was being followed closely by his care team,” the Ministry of Health stated in an update.

But as Global's Catherine Urquhart reports, critics are calling on the province to do more when it comes to helping those with mental health issues and implementing involuntary care.
