A woman found not criminally responsible for killing a stranger in a Toronto pharmacy has been ordered detained in a mental health hospital because she lacks insight into her crime and remains a significant threat to the public, a board overseeing her case has ruled.

The Ontario Review Board -- which decides if and how not criminally responsible patients should be detained -- said Rohinie Bisesar considers herself a victim of her schizophrenia and blames the homicide on her illness.

"Ms. Bisesar considers herself to be ready for discharge to the community at the present time, which represents a combination of limited insight and a grandiose self-appraisal, possibly as a defence mechanism, but nonetheless as an unrealistic appreciation of her circumstances." She remains in a secure, six-bed wing at Toronto's Centre for Addiction and Mental Health where she is in "almost complete remission" of her symptoms, due a strict regime of medication, cognitive behavioural therapy and psychotherapy, the board noted.

Her attending psychiatrist and the lawyer for the Attorney General of Ontario noted that "if the hospital is to make a mistake with respect to assessing risk and granting unsupervised access to community, there could be catastrophic consequences."

What she did was inhumane and terrible. But at the same time had she gotten the help and support she needed. This would have never happened. Maybe she was abused as a child or sexually assaulted or raped? We don’t know. It’s hard to tell because she’s in a bad mental state.

She knows what she did

Doesn’t anyone that kills or thinks of harming someone have mental issues ? So why treat this any different ?

Here's another surprise. No one's ever criminally responsible in fatal stabbings/shootings. They're all accidental & criminals are not responsible. As a matter of fact, the weapons probably have the victim's fingerprints on them & not the criminals. Can I see this in Law & Order?

The new easy way out, unfortunately becoming more and more common.

Is “insight” the new word for conscience?

Canadian “justice”

Although I have enormous compassion for the mentally ill, it makes me very frightened to think I could see this woman in public who is obviously not well. Please protect the new innocent people and never allow her to reoffend! 🙏🏻

Surprise surprise. What a joke the courts are

She is cute...😍😍😍😍😍...I wonder if she is single or wants to have fun.

The ORB is letting people out too soon. John Lai stabbed my sister Cindy Torbar 127 times on March 19, 2016 in Peterborough. 2 weeks ago they ruled to send him home from Whitby Shores because CAMH is taking too long for a bed. He is dangerous to the public. No justice for victims

Fuck her...she's a killer 'but job'...my wife walks the PATH all the time going to work. Are they saying people should look over their shoulder because someone is fucked in the head?

So Arab girl gets away with Murder because she is too stupid to know right from wrong. Good job Canada Haven for Criminals. Now give her 2 million .

Lucky she lives in Canada! BellLetsTaIk_

Sickening , what a fucked up system we have here !!!!

When does the victim get to go back to the community......oh righ NEVER because shes dead. Is there anything more ridiculous than a 'not criminally responsible' verdict.

I remember seeing this woman in the PATH system on many occasions when I worked downtown Toronto. She would approach people handing out business cards that she had randomly collected from the cash or front desks of various business in the PATH. She was definitely off/odd.

Shocker

She may be mentally ill but that does not excuse her from taking responsibility for her actions. She should be placed in an institution for the murder she committed.

Excuse me? So anyone could just stab anyone randomly and get away with it. Wake up Canada! Jesus Christ!

Woman is clearly mentally unwell but wow 😮 sexy and so beautiful what a shame to be nice on the outside but deadly and homicidle on the inside. Hope she gets help

Hell no. She needs to stay in prison forever.

She killed someone!!! How is she not a criminal

🤦‍♀️

Permanently put her away, pretending, don't believe this murderer is nuts, just faking

Brown=mentally ill, white=scourge of humanity

the family that abandoned her when she was clearly in need of help should be held criminally liable.
