The Ontario Review Board conducted an annual review of the disposition for the accused, who was found not criminally responsible for arson endangering human life.
The accused suffers from major mental illness, recently diagnosed as Dissociative Identity Disorder, and has a history of substance abuse and severe childhood trauma.
The Board found that the accused continues to represent a significant threat to the safety of the public due to ongoing psychotic symptoms, hallucinations, and a recent relapse into substance use while in hospital.
A detention disposition was ordered as necessary and appropriate to manage her risk while she engages in the early phases of psychotherapy.
