The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled it will not hear the case of Matthew de Grood, a Calgary man found not criminally responsible for killing five young people nearly 10 years ago.
Katie Perras, Lawrence Hong, Josh Hunter, Zackariah Rathwell and Jordan Segura were stabbed to death at a house party in the Brentwood neighbourhood in April 2014.
de Grood wanted Canada’s highest court to overturn a decision by the Alberta Review Board in 2022 and the Alberta Court of Appeal’s choice on the disposition.
He sought the Supreme Court to cancel his full warrant and instead give him an absolute discharge — or at least a conditional discharge.
On Thursday morning, the Supreme Court rejected his request for leave.
