2. Allan Schoenborn, who was found not criminally responsible for the killings of his three children, has been granted escorted leaves into the community while in custody at Colony Farm Forensic Psychiatric Hospital.
The decision of the three-member B.C. Review Board to allow escorted outings was released Friday, following a lengthy and 鈥� at times delayed 鈥� review, as part of Schoenborn鈥檚 rights while at the hospital in Coquitlam.
REMINDER: Schoenborn was approved for escorted day trips in 2011, which was then reversed. Then again in 2015 鈥� but psychiatrist Dr. Marcel Hediger said back in May he had yet to approve a trip due to Schoenborn's inability to cope with his emotions
