Pierre Ny St-Amand, the 53-year-old man who crashed a bus into a daycare in Laval, Que., has been found not criminally responsible for his actions.
During the proceedings, both the Crown and the defence recommended Ny St-Amand be found not criminally responsible.
“In light of the evidence that was presented jointly, that was neither contradicted nor contested, it is undeniable that the bus driven by Pierre Ny St-Amand crashed into the daycare,” judge Éric Downs said in his decision.
“The court is convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused was dealing with mental health issues, namely psychosis, at the time of the event.”
This is a breaking news story. More to come.
