A man charged with second-degree murder in a 2022 Nanaimo stabbing has been found not criminally responsible due to a mental disorder.
A B.C. man charged with second-degree murder in a 2022 Nanaimo stabbing has been found not criminally responsible due to a mental disorder .“I find that Mr. Turok’s mental disorder made him incapable of appreciating the nature and quality of his actions because his psychosis caused him to believe that Mr. Kutzner was not human,” B.C. Supreme Court Associate Chief Justice Heather Holmes said. “Under that delusional belief, Mr. Turok could not appreciate that he was killing a person.
Co-workers arrived soon after and found the door locked, unusual as Kutzner would leave it open for other employees to enter. Holmes said Turok had a history of mental health issues dating back at least a decade, including hospitalizations under the Mental Health Act.
