There will be no trial in the
aftermath of a violent attack January 20th at Eastern College on Prospect Street
in Fredericton.
A judge has ruled a former
soldier, accused of attacking a classmate and an instructor in a criminology
class with a machete is unfit to stand trial.
The decision is based on the
findings of a mental health evaluation at Restigouche for 31 year old Luke
Thomas Walter Powers. It determined he was not criminally responsible for his
actions.
Powers has been diagnosed with
post traumatic stress disorder.
