The accused was found not criminally responsible for attempted murder after stabbing her husband while experiencing command hallucinations.
At the initial disposition hearing, the Ontario Review Board found that the accused, who suffers from a major neurocognitive disorder, continues to represent a significant threat to the safety of the public.
The Board ordered a detention order with accompanied passes, accepting the hospital's evidence that a secure environment is necessary to manage her progressive dementia and assess her needs before any potential discharge to the community.
