Man accused of murdering two strangers in Vancouver a ‘demonstrated liar,’ Crown says GlobeBC

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.A man accused of murdering a pair of strangers is a “demonstrated liar" who has changed his story throughout his trial, and should not be believed by the B.C. Supreme Court justice deciding his fate, a Crown attorney says.

At the time of the killings, Mr. Kam, a recent economics graduate of the University of Calgary, had moved to Vancouver, settled in a rented room in a house, and adopted a lifestyle focused on playing violent video games and reading comic books. On Tuesday, defence lawyer Glen Orris called for Justice Laura Gerow to find Mr. Kam guilty of manslaughter. “Any intent formed in fantasy is not a state of mind required for murder," said Mr. Orris.
