LANGLEY, B.C. — Former Abbotsford police chief Bob Rich has been appointed to look into the release of a man from British Columbia's psychiatric hospital before the man allegedly stabbed three people in Vancouver's Chinatown.
Premier David Eby said Thursday that he has read the BC Review Board report on the accused and wants Rich to determine how the man could have been released, despite being a"really significant danger to the public."
Donnelly stabbed his teenage daughter Stephanie to death in 2006. He was found not criminally responsible by reason of mental disorder and sent to B.C.'s Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in Coquitlam. "Which is a very disturbing question to ask, but a necessary one to ask, given the unthinkable happened in this case already."
Then, in 2017, it says Donnelly attacked a fellow patient at the hospital with a butter knife and was found not criminally responsible for the assault. Eby said Rich will also have the opportunity to look at why the public didn't have the information about the review board's case, which he said is also troubling.
