Eby says Canada’s not-criminally-responsible system re-victimizes families

SURREY — British Columbia Premier David Eby says the provisions in the Criminal Code related to people found not criminally responsible by reason of mental disorder have resulted in a system that re-victimizes the family of three murdered children.

Eby says the system is not working and that families need more support than what they are getting under the current federal regime.

The premiers comments come days after the British Columbia Review Board granted Allan Schoenborn, also now known as Ken John Johnson, a conditional discharge.

Schoenborn was found not criminally responsible for the first-degree murders of his three children — five-year-old Cordon, eight-year-old Max, and 10-year-old Kaitlynne — at their Merritt, B.C., home in 2008.
