The Ontario Review Board grants an absolute discharge to Rohinie Bisesar, who was found not criminally responsible for stabbing a stranger to death in a downtown Toronto drugstore about a decade ago. According to the board’s decision issued last week, the review concludes she no longer poses a significant threat to public safety. An absolute discharge means the person is released from the board’s control under the relevant provisions of Ontario’s review process.
The case involves the killing of a stranger in the downtown PATH area, with reporting identifying the location as a drugstore in the core of Toronto. Multiple outlets describe the matter as a stabbing death and note the length of time since the incident. The most recent development centers on the board’s determination that conditions tied to the finding of not criminally responsible are no longer required because risk assessments do not show a continued threat.
The decision reflects the board’s periodic review of circumstances and risk, rather than a criminal conviction. Details of the underlying incident and any prior conditions are not included in the provided excerpts.
