Saskatoon Man Not Criminally Responsible for Killing Partner, Judge Rules

  • A Saskatoon judge ruled in July 2025 that Thomas Hamp was not criminally responsible for fatally stabbing his partner Emily Sanche in 2022.
  • The ruling followed a judge-alone trial that began in September 2024, focusing on Hamp's mental state and expert psychiatric evidence of psychosis.
  • Dr. Shabehram Lohrasbe testified that Hamp had been diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder and cannabis use disorder, and was likely experiencing a schizophrenia spectrum condition that compromised his ability to recognize the wrongfulness of his actions.
  • Justice Grant Currie determined that Thomas was probably affected by a mental disorder at the time he fatally stabbed Emily.
  • Hamp will remain at North Battleford Hospital while the Saskatchewan Review Board reviews his case, and the Crown considers whether to appeal the verdict.
