PATH killer Rohinie Bisesar is ready to be discharged into the community.

The only question is whether it will be into supportive housing chosen by her treatment team at CAMH or will she be able to choose where she wants to go without any restrictions — or supervision.


Whatever disposition the Ontario Review Board decides, Bisesar will soon be released from the forensic unit at the Queen St. hospital — and that terrifies the mother of the woman she stabbed to death almost six years ago.

“Those demon voices can come back again,” warns Rosalind Junor. “We will be living in fear.”

Bisesar was suffering from untreated schizophrenia in December 2015 when she followed Rosemarie “Kim” Junor into the underground Shoppers Drug Mart. The newlywed ultrasound technician was shopping while talking to a friend on her cellphone when Bisesar suddenly plunged a knife into her heart. And then walked away.

Bisesar, who believed she was being controlled through “nanotechnology” devices planted in her petite body, was found not criminally responsible due to a mental disorder in 2018 and has been detained at CAMH.

At her annual ORB hearing, her psychiatrist told the board that Bisesar, 46, has made great strides — she continues to be on two anti-psychotic medications and is in complete remission, has passed both levels of her Canadian Securities course, is enrolled in university accounting and has had some virtual job interviews.


The MBA graduate is still hoping to work in the financial industry, the board heard.

While Bisesar was granted unaccompanied passes into the community at her last hearing, they’ve been on hold for all patients due to the pandemic. Instead, she’s had accompanied forays into the neighbourhood without incident.

“It’s our opinion that Ms. Bisesar is ready for discharge and we’re looking for housing with adequate supervision,” said Dr. Georgia Walton.

Two available places are being considered, and she could move in the “next few months,” the psychiatrist said.

Bisesar will face numerous stressors on her release, including the possibility of being approached by people who recognize her from extensive media coverage of her attack and not being able to find work due to her notoriety. While she’s been working with her team on preparing for the transition into the community, Walton warned that Bisesar needs mental health support to ensure she can cope and doesn’t deteriorate.

But Bisesar insists she’s improved enough to be conditionally discharged, which would remove the hospital from stipulating where she can live.

“I feel like I’m missing something here,” her lawyer, Marcus Bornfreund, told the hearing.

Bisesar is an “exemplary patient” in full remission and is co-operating with her treatment, he argued. So why all the “red herrings” about what might go wrong?

“She’s proven herself to the maximum a patient can,” Bornfreund said, “yet we’re still treating her as the least capable patient.”

Her psychiatrist admitted the risk is low that Bisesar could deteriorate under stress — but not impossible. “Under a detention order, we would be able to intervene sooner to ensure the safety of the public,” Walton explained.

“At this time, it’s premature,” she said of a conditional discharge. “For Ms. Bisesar, I think there still is a real risk of reoffence.”

Crown attorney Michael Feindel also argued it’s too soon.

Bisesar was involved in “one of the most high-profile cases we’ve seen in Ontario” and no one knows what she’ll face on the outside or how she’ll react to a negative reception.

The ORB chair Crawford MacIntyre commended Bisesar on her progress and told her she’d have their decision in a few days. He also sympathized with the victim’s family on the conference call and hoped they’d gained more “insight” into the tragedy.

That’s a tall order to expect from a mother who still grieves for her beloved daughter.

“I’m not doing good at all,” Junor said after the hearing. “She murdered my baby. They’re giving her housing.”

PATH killer Rohinie Bisesar will not receive the conditional discharge she sought this year, the Ontario Review Board has ruled.

Instead, the ORB said the mentally-ill killer will remain under a detention order and won’t be free to decide where she wants to live once she’s released from CAMH.


Bisesar, 46, was found not criminally responsible in 2018 for the stabbing of stranger Rosemarie “Kim” Junor in the underground Shoppers Drug Mart just days before Christmas in 2015.

At the time of Bisesar’s senseless slaying of Junor, a newlywed ultrasound technician, the unemployed MBA graduate was suffering from untreated schizophrenia and believed she was being controlled by nanotechnology that had been implanted in her body.

At her annual ORB hearing to set conditions for the upcoming year, the hospital said Bisesar has greatly improved, and they plan to discharge her in the “next few months” from their forensic unit to supportive housing in the community where she will be closely monitored.

Bisesar’s lawyer had argued that since she’s been an “exemplary patient” in remission from her schizophrenia symptoms and has been taking an injectable anti-psychotic medication, she no longer needs to be under hospital supervision.

The ORB disagreed — but their reasons won’t be released for several weeks.

Both the hospital and the Crown attorney had warned the board last week that it was too early to release Bisesar into the community without controls in place in case the difficult transition leads to a reappearance of her symptoms. They worried that public reaction and difficulty in finding employment might set her back. Under a conditional discharge, Bisesar couldn’t be forced to return to the hospital.

Under this year’s disposition order, CAMH may give Bisesar privileges that extend from unaccompanied passes out of the hospital up to living “in the community in accommodation approved by the person in charge.”

CAMH must notify local police each time they allow Bisesar to enter the community and when they allow her to move into approved housing. And once she’s released, she must report at least once a week to the hospital.

While relieved Bisesar is not being given a conditional discharge, her victim’s mother is still disappointed that she could be released from CAMH in the next several months.

“It’s too soon,” lamented Rosalind Junor. “I wasn’t expecting it was going to happen so soon.

“I was doing so well. This made me go back to square one.”

“She’s out; she’s free, can you believe that?” asks Rosalind Junor, mother of Bisesar’s victim, newlywed Rosemarie “Kim” Junor. “But I can’t take this on, I get stressed. I can’t sleep at night, I leave it now to God.”

On Dec. 11, 2015, the unemployed MBA grad was suffering from severe untreated schizophrenia, surfing downtown coffee shops and convinced she was being controlled by “nanotechnology” implanted in her body.

Junor, 28, was a newlywed looking forward to spending her first Christmas with her husband in their new home. On a break from her job as an ultrasound technician, she’d gone into the underground Shoppers Drug Mart, unaware she was being followed.

As Junor chatted on her cellphone and looked at nail polish, Bisesar suddenly plunged a small kitchen knife into her heart and then walked away.

“It was out of the blue,” her mother cries. “She was so happy that morning, dancing around the kitchen. Why was she so happy that morning? She even put it on Facebook.”

Junor was rushed to hospital, where she died five days later.

Once Bisesar was declared fit to stand trial, she was found not criminally responsible due to a mental disorder in November 2018 and was detained at CAMH until last fall.

At her annual hearing Wednesday, the Ontario Review Board heard Bisesar, 47, was released from the general forensic unit in October 2021 to live in unsupervised housing while being supported by the hospital’s outpatient program, including weekly visits with her psychiatrist.

NO SYMPTOMS OF MENTAL ILLNESS
Dr. Treena Wilkie told the ORB that Bisesar has done well in the community over the last six months: She’s stable with no symptoms of her mental illness, she’s willingly taking her antipsychotic medication and is anxious to find a job in the finance field.

Despite fears at her last review, the board heard Bisesar hasn’t had any negative run-ins with the media or anyone who recognizes her from the high-profile stabbing.

Still, Wilkie warned that Bisesar remains a significant threat to public safety and needs to be under a detention order, so the hospital can intervene quickly and readmit her without her consent at any early warning signs that her mental state is deteriorating, which could happen under the stress of pursuing her goal of finding work for the first time in more than seven years.

“These really are early days,” said the hospital’s lawyer, Leisha Senko.

Crown attorney Michael Feindel agreed with the hospital’s position. But Bisesar’s lawyer urged the ORB to grant her a conditional discharge, suggesting her risk of decompensation is low, and the Mental Health Act can be used to return her to CAMH if necessary.

“Ms. Bisesar is an extraordinary individual who has made significant progress to the point where there is not anything more that she could have done to date to improve her situation, to stabilize herself or to gain insight,” argued lawyer Marcus Bornfreund, as his client listened quietly at the Zoom hearing.

He admitted Bisesar remains a significant threat if she doesn’t take her medication, and she needs some oversight. “It’s just a question of what oversight,” he said. “She is the poster child for recovery from such a serious illness with extremely grave consequences.”

This is Bisesar’s fourth annual ORB hearing. Until she’s granted an absolute discharge, the independent tribunal must review her status each year to determine the “least onerous and least restrictive” disposition which also maintains public safety.

FAITH LOST IN SYSTEM
Junor’s mother, though, won’t participate in these hearings — she has no faith in the system anymore.

“They do nothing good for us; she’s free to go anywhere, so why bother us? What can we do? What’s the sense?” she asks resignedly.

Her daughter would have turned 35 on April 2. “We went by the cemetery and sang happy birthday to her. My baby is happy where she is.

“I leave that woman in the hands of God.”

The ORB has reserved its decision.

PATH killer living on her own but denied conditional discharge

Be thankful for small mercies, we suppose.


Path killer Rohinie Bisesar has lost her bid for a conditional discharge and while she lives on her own, she’ll remain under the supervision of CAMH for the next year.

In recently released reasons, the Ontario Review Board found the woman who plunged a knife into the heart of newlywed Rosemarie “Kim” Junor two weeks before Christmas in 2015 remains a “significant threat” to public safety and the hospital needs to be able to readmit her quickly if signs of her mental illness resurface.

At her annual hearing last month, we learned for the first time that Bisesar, 47, was released in October 2021 to live in an unsupervised Toronto apartment with support from CAMH’s outpatient program, including weekly visits to her psychiatrist. The hospital reported that she’s been compliant with taking antipsychotic medication, hasn’t shown any symptoms of the schizophrenia that led to the deadly attack and has been actively looking for work in the financial industry.


She’s come a long way.

In 2015, the attractive, unemployed MBA grad could be found in a corporate suit behaving strangely as she drifted through downtown coffee shops, listening to voices only she could hear. Suffering from what was later diagnosed as untreated chronic paranoid schizophrenia, she believed she was being controlled by nanotechnology that had been implanted in her petite body.

On Dec. 11 of that year, Junor, 28, was on an afternoon break from her job as an ultrasound technician and was on her phone and browsing the nail polishes in the underground Shoppers Drug Mart when Bisesar suddenly approached and fatally stabbed her in the upper chest with a concealed knife.

Bisesar then left the knife on a cosmetics shelf in the store and fled through the PATH. She was arrested four days later and charged with murder.


After initially being unfit to stand trial, she was ultimately medicated and on Nov. 6, 2018, Bisesar was found not criminally responsible (NCR) on account of mental disorder. At her initial ORB hearing a few months later, she was placed on the women’s secure forensic unit at CAMH and the next year, was transferred down to a general unit.

In 2021, her disposition allowed her release into the community with hospital supports. For 2022, she wanted to be free of that supervision.

Not so fast, the ORB determined.

According to the hospital, Bisesar’s psychosis would return if she stopped taking her meds — as she did a year before the attack — and under a conditional discharge, she couldn’t be forced to return to CAMH.

“If Ms. Bisesar remained untreated for a prolonged period of time,” the hospital warned, “her symptoms would likely become as severe as they were at the time of the index offence placing Ms. Bisesar at moderate-high risk of repeated violence.”


Of course she needs to be monitored closely.

Bisesar had only been out on her own for six months and adjusting to a high-paced job is a “potential trigger for destabilization,” CAMH had told the ORB, so they needed to be able to intervene quickly.

The board agreed.

“There can be no doubt that Ms. Bisesar will face significant stressors as she attempts to obtain employment and continue her reintegration into the community during the coming year,” they wrote.

“A detention order, as opposed to a conditional discharge, would permit the clinical team to intervene early if there were signs of deterioration of Ms. Bisesar’s mental condition. A conditional discharge disposition and the provisions of the Mental Health Act would not be sufficient to address her risk management in those circumstances.”

But the ORB said she’s on the right path.

“The Board wishes to commend Ms. Bisesar for both her rehabilitative efforts and progress during the past year,” they noted. “She is making strong efforts to rebuild her career and is reconnecting with others from her past.”

And soon it will be as if it never happened at all.
