Rohinie Bisesar Charged In Fatal Stabbing In Downtown Toronto Taken To Hospital

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 13 Apr, 2016 01:39 PM

TORONTO — A woman charged in an apparently unprovoked fatal stabbing in downtown Toronto has been hospitalized.

A guard from the Vanier Centre for Women in nearby Milton told a Toronto court today that Rohinie Bisesar had been taken to hospital but did not specify what she was being treated for.

The lawyer representing Bisesar said outside court he didn't know when or why his client was hospitalized.

Bisesar appeared erratic during a video appearance in court earlier this week.

She is charged with first-degree murder in the killing of Rosemarie Junor last December.

Junor, 28, died several days after being stabbed at a Shoppers Drug Mart in Toronto's popular underground PATH network of shops and restaurants.

Bisesar was the subject of a manhunt for several days before her arrest.
