Publication Ban Imposed In Review Board Hearing For Calgary Mass Killer

The Canadian Press, 12 Jul, 2016 11:40 AM
    CALGARY — An Alberta review board hearing for a Calgary man found not criminally responsible for the stabbing deaths of five young people is underway.
     
    But details of the hearing for Matthew de Grood, including his treatment, progress and victim impact statements from the families of the deceased cannot be reported.
     
    The board has granted an interim publication ban on all evidence until formal arguments can be heard tomorrow.
     
    Submissions will be made by psychiatrists and others who work with and treat de Grood at the Southern Alberta Forensic Psychiatry Centre.
     
    The board will decide if de Grood should be granted any privileges — like escorted outings — weighing public safety, de Grood's mental health and the possibility of rehabilitation.
     
    De Grood, who is 24, was found not criminally responsible for the deaths of Lawrence Hong, Joshua Hunter, Kaitlin Perras, Zackariah Rathwell and Jordan Segura at a 2014 house party.
