Montreal man charged with terrorism hoax to undergo more psychiatric tests

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 23 Jan, 2015 01:47 PM

    MONTREAL — A Montreal man facing a terrorism-related charge will undergo an additional six weeks of psychiatric evaluation.

    Jeffrey Labelle's lawyer says the psychiatrist asked for additional time to continue the evaluation to determine his level of criminal responsibility.

    Labelle faces one charge under the terrorism hoax section of the Criminal Code, having allegedly given police reason to believe a terrorist activity could occur.

    Montreal police said that after searching the home Labelle shared with his mother and grandmother, they found a city map that showed the co-ordinates of four different police stations.

    A judge earlier declared Labelle a danger to himself and to his family in denying him bail.

    During a December hearing, the court heard testimony that hinted at a deeply troubled, paranoid young man who had recently tried to kill himself and allegedly converted to a violent form of Islam.

    The case returns to court on Mar. 11.
