Man found not criminally responsible in 2002 double axe-killing fully released
A man who was found not criminally responsible for the deaths of two people 14 years ago has been fully discharged.
A meeting of the Saskatchewan Review Board (SRB) at the Saskatchewan Hospital in North Battleford found Layne Larose is no longer a threat to the public.
Larose, 54, was found not criminally responsible in the axe-killings of David Kennedy and Hughie Sayers on May 28, 2002 and has been under the jurisdiction of the SRB since.
The decision, signed by Judge Hugh Harradence, states Larose has shown he’s committed to treatment and will abstain from drugs and alcohol if discharged.
