PORT COQUITLAM (NEWS1130) - Port Coquitlam's mayor doesn't want child killer Allen Schoenborn to be granted escorted day leaves. Greg Moore says people in the community are outraged that the man who killed his three kids in Merritt in 2008 will be able to apply for supervised leave.
"I received quite a few emails and phone calls. I've been hearing it at the grocery store and walking the streets. People are beside themselves. They don't understand and can't fathom how this could occur," explains Moore.
Schoenborn told the
BC Review Board he wanted to be able to go to the mall for a coffee, a quote Moore says has people especially upset.
So Moore is sending a letter to BC Solicitor General Shirley Bond, asking her to appeal the decision.
Schoenborn was found not criminally responsible because of his mental condition. He is being kept at a mental institution in Port Coquitlam. The BC Review Board made its decision last week.
