Killer apologizes to dead woman's family, other stabbing victims.
The mother of man who killed one woman and injured six others in stabbing rampage outside a North Vancouver library two years ago told a judge in a letter Friday that her family repeatedly tried to get help for her son’s deteriorating mental health and addiction issues but was turned away.
The mother wrote that if her son’s mental health issues had been taken seriously, the tragedy could have been avoided. “I don’t pretend to know your suffering and I have so much sympathy for you,” Bandaogo’s mother wrote, addressing the victims in her letter. “. . . I have so much sadness at the thought that you all suffer as a result of an event that should have never happened.”
On Thursday, Rivard said Bandaogo understood his actions but could offer no motive for the attack, adding Bandaogo doesn’t have a clear memory of his actions that day.
