A woman charged with a random, stabbing death of a stranger in a Shoppers Drug Mart is mentally unfit to stand trial next month for first-degree murder, an Ontario Superior Court jury decided Tuesday. The jury took about an hour to reach its decision after a forensic psychiatrist testified Monday that Rohinie Bisesar has schizophrenia and that her current condition would render her incapable of mounting a defence at the trial set for Jan. 8. On several occasions, Bisesar, who testified Monday, expressed doubt that the victim is dead. Outside the downtown courthouse, Bisesar’s lawyer, Robert Karrass, said the jury came to the correct decision. “Miss Bisesar needs treatment for a significant mental disorder in order to …actively engage in this matter.”
