The accused was found not criminally responsible for first-degree murder after killing his brother while experiencing a severe psychotic decompensation.
At his initial disposition hearing before the Ontario Review Board, the hospital recommended a detention order with limited privileges, citing the accused's partial insight and recent requests to discontinue his antipsychotic medication.
The Board found that the accused poses a significant threat to the safety of the public.
Applying the factors under s. 672.54 of the Criminal Code, the Board ordered a detention order at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health with privileges up to and including accompanied community passes, but declined to grant indirectly supervised community access.
