Killer of Lapu Lapu suspect’s brother apologizes for ‘ripple effect’ of festival attack

January 16, 2026

The murderer of a man whose brother was later arrested for the Lapu Lapu festival attack that killed 11 people in April 2025 has called it a “ripple effect” from his own crime 15 months earlier.

Dwight Kematch, who pleaded guilty to the January 2024 second-degree murder of Alexander Lo in July, told his B.C. Supreme Court sentencing hearing in Vancouver that what followed the killing was a “horrendous tragedy.”
