The woman accused in an unprovoked fatal stabbing at a Shoppers Drug Mart in Toronto’s financial district is in hospital, her lawyer said Wednesday.
Rohinie Bisesar, 40, had been charged with first-degree murder in the death of 28-year-old Rosemarie Junor.

Police allege Bisesar stabbed Junor at a Shoppers Drug Mart in Toronto’s popular underground PATH network of shops and restaurants on Dec. 11. Junor died several days later and Bisesar was the subject of a manhunt for several days before her arrest.
Bisesar’s lawyer, David Burke, told reporters Wednesday that a guard from the Vanier Centre for Women in Milton, Ont. informed the court that Bisesar had been hospitalized.

Burke said it was unclear why she was sent to hospital or even what hospital she was located at. He added that her legal counsel had been visiting with her regularly.
Bisesar also appeared erratic during a video appearance in court earlier this week and allegedly made references to terrorism.
