The Ontario Review Board conducted an annual review of the disposition for the accused, who was previously found not criminally responsible for second-degree murder.
The accused suffers from a treatment-refractory schizoaffective disorder and experienced significant decompensation over the past year due to medication noncompliance, requiring multiple periods of seclusion.
The Board accepted the joint submission that the accused remains a significant threat to public safety and ordered the continuation of his detention at Waypoint Centre for Mental Health Care with grounds privileges.
