VANCOUVER – A man has pleaded guilty to the murder of Alexander Lo, the brother of Lapu Lapu festival attack suspect Adam Kai-Ji Lo.
The BC Prosecution Service says Dwight Kematch pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree murder on Friday.
Kematch’s sentencing hearing has been scheduled for Aug. 11 in British Columbia Supreme Court.
Alexander Lo, 31, was found dead last year in a home in East Vancouver, and police have confirmed he was the brother of the man now charged in the unrelated Lapu Lapu festival attack that killed 11 people.
Vancouver police said last year that officers responded around 1 a.m. on January 28 to a 9-1-1 call from a home near Knight Street and East 33 Avenue, arresting Kematch inside the residence where Lo’s body was also discovered.
Adam Kai-Ji Lo is facing 11 second-degree murder charges in the ramming attack in April, when an SUV plowed through a crowd at a Filipino community festival.
Last week, he appeared in a Vancouver court as forensic psychiatrists testified at a hearing to determine if he is fit to stand trial.
