When the Lawyer Is the Criminal: The Butch Bagabuyo Murder Case

It's 3:13 in the afternoon on March 11, 2022.  A security camera on Victoria Street in downtown Kamloops, British Columbia captures a man walking along the sidewalk. He's wearing a green hooded jacket, a jade-coloured toque, and heavy hiking boots. Slung over one shoulder is a brown leather satchel. In his right hand, a black cloth shopping bag. He is not rushing. His pace is described later, by the judge who reviewed the footage, as a stroll. He is early for his appointment with his friend and lawyer and taking his time.He looks down at the watch on his left wrist.He walks out of the camera's frame.That is the last image ever captured of Mohd Abdullah alive.What happened next, in a fire-damaged law office on Victoria Street, was not a sudden argument that got out of hand.
