Lam sisters acquitted in 2022 killing of their 88-year-old mother
A jury has found Hue and Chau Lam not guilty of first-degree murder in the killing their mother almost three years ago. It took the 13 jurors five days to make their finding, which was delivered late Sunday afternoon at the Ottawa Courthouse. Throughout the trial, there was no doubt the sisters killed 88-year-old Kieu Lam in her sleep. In the end, their argument that they acted in self-defence after enduring decades of abuse was accepted by the jury. Crown prosecutors had argued that Chau, 59, and Hue, 62, brutally murdered their aging and frail mother as she lay sleeping in her bed, using a hammer and string to do so. Justice Narissa Somji delivered her instructions to the jury Tuesday night, before sending them to deliberate on a verdict. The trial started at the Superior Court of Justice in Ottawa in June.
