The family of slain RCMP Const. Shaelyn Yang says a judge’s ruling that the suspect is unfit for trial reflects a “systemic failure” in the justice system.
Jongwon Ham is accused of fatally stabbing Yang in October 2022. In January 2026, the B.C. Supreme Court ordered a mental health assessment to determine whether he was fit to stand trial, with the evaluation later extended over additional days.
