Kyle Sequeira, 29, was found not criminally responsible for the brutal murders of his parents in Scarborough, Toronto, due to his untreated schizophrenia. The judge emphasized the irrational nature of his actions, describing the killings as a "grossly disproportionate reaction" to his anger, well beyond rational thought. Though Sequeira had a history of violent behavior, including a stabbing incident with a friend, the court deemed this particular offense as stemming from severe mental health issues, leading to a verdict of not criminally responsible for the matricide and patricide in 2021.
What Mr. Sequeira did to his mother and father was such a grossly disproportionate reaction to his anger that it is almost impossible to ascribe it to a rational mind.
These killings were such acts of butchery that they fall outside the realm of rational thought, indicating Sequeira's severe mental health issues.
