Mental State 'Stable' for Father Who Killed Kids, B.C. Review Board Says

The board said Schoenborn’s risk is manageable with oversight after finding his psychotic disorder in full remission and his medication compliance stable for years.

  • On Wednesday, the British Columbia Review Board granted Allan Schoenborn a conditional discharge, requiring him to live under supervision in the community.
  • Schoenborn was found not criminally responsible for the 2008 murders of his three children—Cordon, Max, and Kaitlynne—at their Merritt home, crimes the Review Board calls "of the utmost seriousness."
  • Medical reports indicate Schoenborn's psychotic disorder has been in full remission for years, and his mental state remains stable with continued medication compliance since 2019.
  • The Review Board stopped short of an absolute discharge, citing expert reports that Schoenborn would likely relapse without oversight and requiring continued forensic services involvement.
  • While the Review Board describes the risk as "manageable," a representative for the victims' family called the decision "baffling," stating their anguish is "immeasurable and cannot be overstated.
