COQUITLAM, B.C. — A hearing for AllanSchoenborn, who killed his three children in 2008, ended with an abrupt adjournment on Wednesday after his lawyer told the British Columbia Review Board he would no longer appear in front of its current panel.

Lawyer Rishi Gill said in an interview that he continues to represent Schoenborn, who was found not criminally responsible for the killings. But his client will need new counsel before the board, which is set to reschedule the hearing.

"I didn't feel that it would best serve Mr. Schoenborn's interests for me to continue on, given some of the comments that were going back and forth," he said.Schoenborn has been held at the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in Coquitlam, B.C., since 2010, after killing his 10-year-old daughter and two sons, aged five and eight.

The remark prompted an"outburst" from Schoenborn, said Teixeira, who attended the hearing via livestream.He said the board chair also noted while listening to the testimony that Schoenborn had been involved in at least a dozen violent incidents with staff and other patients since October 2023, information that wasn't included in a hospital report.

The day before the hearing, the board had rejected an application from Schoenborn to have his new legal name redacted from the board's decisions. Schoenborn has changed his name, and the new name hasn't been made public, Gill said.
