B.C. child killer requests outings
The lawyer for the man who killed his three children and was found not criminally responsible because of a mental disorder says a B.C. Review Board will need at least a month to decide the latest request for temporary absences from a psychiatric facility. Rishi Gill says Allan Schoenborn was before the review board Thursday requesting limited, staff supported community outings. Schoenborn has been held at the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in Coquitlam since 2010, after being convicted of killing his 10-year-old daughter and two sons, aged eight and five, in April 2008. A B.C. Supreme Court trial heard Schoenborn believed he was saving them from a life of sexual and physical abuse.
