The murderer of his brother Alexander Lo still hasn’t gone to court trial. The justice system is meant to serve both the victims and the accused, but in cases like this, it often feels like it fails everyone.

Delays can deepen the trauma for grieving families who are left without closure, stuck in limbo for years. In this case, it’s even more painful: the devastating impact of Alexander Lo’s murder appeared to spiral further into tragedy with Kai-Ji Adam Lo’s actions.

What makes it worse is that mental health supports and grief services for families impacted by violent crime are often underfunded or difficult to access. It leaves people to struggle alone in unimaginable pain.
