Child killer Schoenborn must remain at psychiatric hospital

COQUITLAM, B.C. — The BC Review Board has ruled child killer Allan Schoenborn “remains a significant threat” and has denied his request for “mandatory outings.”

However, at the same time, the board ruled the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in Coquitlam, where he’s being held, may allow outings if certain conditions are met, such as ensuring that he be escorted while outside the facility.

Yet Dave Teixeira, a spokesman for the victims’ family, said those conditions do not include something the family requested.

“What is most disappointing is that the review board continues to deny what we consider to be a very, very reasonable request and that is for the family to be notified of when and where Schoenborn will be going out for these outings.”
