Students say ‘it’s scary’ to return to school after teen fatally stabbed
ABBOTSFORD, B.C. — A man accused of fatally stabbing a 13-year-old girl at a high school in Abbotsford, B.C., sat motionless and was unresponsive during a video appearance in court on Monday.
Gabriel Klein, 21, didn’t answer when a judge asked him questions and was impassive as the Crown discussed his case. Klein could be seen on a monitor seated in a wheelchair with his head cocked to the side, wrapped in a blanket that revealed his bare shoulders.
He appeared via video link about an hour later than scheduled after initially refusing to participate. Last Wednesday, the court heard that Klein wouldn’t leave his cell to stand before a judge.
Klein faces one charge each of second-degree murder and aggravated assault.
