A man accused in a series of stabbings outside a public library in North Vancouver, B.C., two years ago has pleaded guilty to murdering one person and trying to kill six more.
Yannick Bandaogo, now 30, responded with “oui, Monsieur Judge” to charges of one count of second-degree murder, five counts of attempted murder and one count of aggravated assault read out by Justice Geoffrey Gaul in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster on Monday morning.
The proceedings took place in French, Bandaogo’s first language. A three day sentencing hearing has been set to begin July 5.
Bandaogo was arrested at the scene
