In 2008, a devastating crime shocked Canada when three young children were killed by their father, Allen Schoenborn, during a custody dispute in Merritt, British Columbia.

Following a nationwide manhunt, Schoenborn was arrested and later found Not Criminally Responsible due to mental disorder (NCR) — a verdict that continues to spark intense debate about public safety, mental illness, and justice for victims.

In this video, we walk through the timeline of the case — from the events leading up to the tragedy, to the investigation, trial, and the ongoing legal battles over Schoenborn’s potential release.

This is a difficult but important Canadian case that raises complex questions about risk assessment, treatment, and how the system balances compassion with protection.

Viewer discretion is advised.
