We’re learning more about the B.C. Review Board’s decision to grant a conditional discharge to child killer Allan Schoenborn.
Schoenborn was found not criminally responsible for killing his three children in Merritt in 2008.
In a hearing on June 1, the review board said symptoms for Schoenborn’s disorder have been in remission for years.

It also noted his participation in a community transitional care program near Colony Farm over the past year.
Schoenborn’s psychiatrist testified he has made progress on interpersonal conflict, after a previous hearing stated he had acted aggressively toward female staff at Colony Farm.
