Dr. F. Alioglu Karayilan

The accused was found not criminally responsible for two counts of attempted murder and one count of assault after stabbing his mother and sister.

At his annual review hearing, the Ontario Review Board considered whether he remained a significant threat to public safety.

Relying on expert psychiatric evidence, the Board found that the accused's limited insight into his schizophrenia and cannabis use disorder, combined with his stated intention to stop medication if released, meant he remained a significant threat.

The Board ordered the continuation of his Detention Order at the hospital as the least onerous and least restrictive disposition.

The Ontario Review Board conducted an annual review of the accused's disposition.

The accused, who was previously found not criminally responsible for uttering threats, suffers from schizoaffective disorder and other mental health conditions.

Based on the hospital report and expert testimony, the Board found that the accused remains a significant threat to public safety due to a risk of medication non-adherence, impulsivity, and a history of arson.

The Board accepted the joint submission of the parties and ordered the continuation of the Detention Order with the same terms and conditions.
