B.C. court records show second charge against alleged hijacker Shaheer Cassim
RICHMOND — The man accused of hijacking a plane and triggering a security scare at Vancouver International Airport last week faces a second charge related to the rogue flight. B.C. online court records say a charge of damaging or interfering with a navigation system was sworn Friday against Shaheer Cassim. Cassim was arrested July 15 after allegedly threatening a flight instructor at Victoria International Airport, seizing control of a Cessna, then circling the plane over Vancouver's airport before landing and being arrested by police. Police say the 39-year-old had an "ideological motive to disrupt airspace" and announced a charge of hijacking the day after the flight. Both charges carry a maximum sentence of life in prison. Cassim is a former commercial airline pilot who posted on social media the day before the airport security scare that he was a "messenger of Allah" sent to save humanity from catastrophic climate change. Cassim is expected to appear in Provincial Court in Richmond, B.C., on Tuesday. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 21, 2025. The Canadian Press

Richmond, B.C. man charged with second-degree murder of intimate partner
A B.C. man has been charged with killing his partner in what an advocate calls a tragic example of the escalating crisis of gender-based violence in B.C. Thirty-three-year-old Richmond man, George Dragnea, was charged Saturday for second-degree murder in the death of a 51-year-old woman, according to a press release from the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT). The incident comes about two weeks after James Plover was charged with the second-degree murder of Bailey Plover after a public attack in Kelowna, B.C. Richmond RCMP says officers responded to a report on Friday of a woman "suffering from serious injuries" in the 8600 block of Capstan Way — an area with numerous apartment buildings and a shopping centre. The woman was pronounced deceased in hospital. The allegation against the man has not been proven in court. IHIT called it "an isolated incident," adding that because it's only alleged to have involved "the accused and the deceased who were in a relationship ... there is no ongoing risk to the public." But an advocacy group focused on eliminating violence against women and girls says it was not an isolated incident. "The way that the system frames this kind of violence — they frame it as private, random, and not something that's preventable," said Angela Marie MacDougall, executive director of Battered Women's Support Services (BWSS). "But we know that this is not the case, that it is public, it's not random, and it's absolutely preventable." 'This is a spike' MacDougall said five women have been killed, and three seriously injured, in B.C. since the end of June, all as a result of alleged intimate partner violence. "This is quite concerning, because this is a spike," she said. MacDougall cited a recent independent report, commissioned by the province, about how B.C.'s legal system treats sexual and intimate partner violence. The June 2025 report, by lawyer Kim Stanton, shows that nearly half of B.C. women (48 per cent) have experienced intimate partner violence since the age of 15. "That means it's a public safety emergency," MacDougall said. MacDougall wants to see the provincial and federal governments, as well as municipal councils, acknowledge the severity of the situation and engage in prevention. They can start, she said, by launching a task force on intimate partner violence and gender-based violence. "We want to engage all those levels to recognize that … there's citizens in their communities right now that are living in fear, that aren't safe and that they need to know what the services are that are available." She highlighted BWSS's five-part prevention strategy that includes age-appropriate and inclusive education to teach youth about respectful relationships; mandatory, standardized risk assessments in criminal and family law; and public education campaigns to promote survivor rights. "All citizens in the province of British Columbia that are living right now with fear, and where lethal violence is imminent, they need to know that their province cares about them." Accountability As part of Stanton's report on intimate partner violence, she made multiple recommendations to the province, including declaring gender-based violence a provincial epidemic and appointing a commissioner to oversee the province's progress. B.C. Attorney General Niki Sharma said after the report's release that that the government would "immediately" look into what can be done to improve how the legal system treats survivors. The province committed to investing in culturally safe victim services, to improve training within institutions, and also work on proposed changes to the family law act "including components specifically focused on intimate partner and family violence," she said. However, Stanton's report warned that recommendations made in the past weren't acted on and said there's still a lack of accountability, due in part to the fact that many of the province's existing services for addressing intimate partner violence are siloed in separate ministries. "[There is] no identified leader with the authority to ensure that what needs to be done gets done. This means that while everyone works in their own lane, no one has their eye on the bigger picture to evaluate and monitor..." If you're in immediate danger or fear for your safety or that of others around you, please call 911. If you're affected by family or intimate partner violence, you can look for help through crisis lines and local support services.

Air-traffic conversation suggests suspected B.C. hijacking was 'some type of protest'
VANCOUVER — A conversation involving a Vancouver International Airport air traffic controller suggests the alleged hijacking of a small aircraft that temporarily stopped landings on Tuesday may have been motivated by "some type of protest." The unidentified controller in the air-traffic audio recording tells the pilot of a grounded aircraft that a Cessna is circling about 500 feet over the airport and the situation could last "a couple hours." But the Cessna landed about 10 minutes later, and police say the sole occupant was arrested. In the air traffic conversation, the grounded pilot of a commercial jet asks why his plane is being held at the gate. Vancouver air-traffic control had first mentioned a "rogue aircraft" shortly after 1 p.m., asking nearby aircraft to keep an eye out for the Cessna 172 and to inform controllers of any need to "manoeuvre as necessary." Police in Richmond, B.C., where the airport is located, said Tuesday the pilot of the Cessna was arrested after the plane landed at about 1:45 p.m., 47 minutes after online flight data showed the aircraft taking off from Victoria International Airport. Victoria International Airport said in a statement the Cessna was operated by the Victoria Flying Club. Vancouver International Airport said flights were operating normally later Tuesday afternoon after a 39-minute "ground stop" for arrivals. An air traffic controller in the recordings says at about 1:13 p.m. that the pilot of the Cessna stated he had hijacked the aircraft and was heading to Vancouver, and flight data show the plane circling above the airport for about 25 minutes. The controller and a grounded pilot discuss when such an incident had last occurred, and one of them is heard saying "maybe the '70s." Police did not immediately respond to requests for updates on the case, including the identity of the pilot. A video posted online on social media showed police cars closing in on the Cessna as it taxis after landing on YVR's north runway, and the door of the aircraft swinging open before it stops moving. Another recording of a radio conversation between airport operations for arrivals and departures that occurred while the aircraft was circling above says the suspect "expected to be arrested."
