Matthew de Grood’s lawyer, Allan Fay, said Wednesday the Alberta Review Board has decided to move his client to Alberta Hospital Edmonton where he could be granted supervised day passes. The review board says de Grood could eventually be placed in a halfway house with 24-hour supervision, Fay added. He is on medication for schizophrenia and the review board has heard his symptoms have been in “full remission” since July 2014. At a review board hearing last month, de Grood said he was “truly sorry for what I’ve done. He lost that right when he savagely murdered five amazing young people, a crime that remains unprecedented in our city.”
