30 year old Gregory Despres, who brutally stabbed Fred Fulton and Verna Decarie to death in their Minto home back in 2005, will remain locked up in a secure psychiatric facility inside Dorchester Penitentiary.
A review board has determined Despres still is a threat after hearing from psychiatrist Louis Theriault who testified his treatment has stalled.
Despres was found not criminally responsible for the horrific carnage because he could not understand the wrongfulness of his actions.
Both Fulton and Decarie were in their 70s.
Theriault is recommending Despres be transferred to the Restigouche Mental Health Hospital in Campbellton to allow for visits from his family, which might help him understand his role in the murders but the board turned that down.
On April 25th, 2005, a day before the bodies were found, Despres (who is an american citizen) was allowed to cross the St. Stephen/Calais border while carrying a homemade sword, a knife, a hatchet, brass knuckles, and a chainsaw that were stained in blood.
