The accused, Fahd Husain Khan, was arraigned on charges of break and enter, attempted murder, and kidnapping.
The court found that the Crown proved the acts beyond a reasonable doubt.
The central issue was whether the accused was not criminally responsible on account of mental disorder (NCR).
Based on expert psychiatric evidence and the application of section 16(1) of the Criminal Code, the court concluded that the accused was suffering from schizophrenia with psychotic symptoms and delusions, rendering him incapable of knowing his actions were wrong.
Consequently, the court rendered a verdict of not criminally responsible on account of mental disorder.
