Man accused of killing B.C. student is psychotic, delusional, doctor tells court
NEW WESTMINSTER, B.C. — A psychiatrist treating a man accused of stabbing two girls at an Abbotsford, B.C., high school says he believes his patient has schizophrenia, is psychotic and experiencing delusions.
Dr. Marcel Hediger told a B.C. Supreme Court hearing Wednesday that Gabriel Klein also told him he killed one person and seriously hurt another.
Klein is charged with second-degree murder in the death of 13-year-old Letisha Reimer and is accused of the aggravated assault of another teenage girl in what police have described as a random attack in November 2016.
Klein was 21-years-old when he was arrested. He did not speak or respond to questions in his first three court appearances.
