The accused, a 79-year-old man, sought release on a detention review under s. 525 of the Criminal Code.
He was charged with attempted murder and other offences against his former common-law spouse, and subsequently breached a non-communication order while in custody.
Despite a proposed release plan involving GPS monitoring, CCTV, and sureties, and evidence that the accused may be suffering from dementia requiring assessment, the court found the plan insufficient to mitigate the risks.
The court concluded that continued detention was necessary on both the secondary and tertiary grounds.
