Ontario Review Board considers future of Kitchener man who killed wife, blew up home [Video]

An Ontario Review Board hearing was held at the Southwest Centre for Forensic Mental Health Care in St. Thomas on Thursday to consider the future of Udo Haan.

In August 2018, Haan killed his wife Edra and caused an explosion that levelled their Sprucedale Crescent home in Kitchener.

Last year, a judge found him not criminally responsible because he was suffering from delusions at the time.

“The Ontario Review Board is an oversight body; it’s a quasi legal process, and their role is to oversee the care that we provide. They issue a disposition for our patients each year that determines what our patients are allowed to do,” Director of Southwest Centre for Forensic Mental Health Care Kent Lewis said.
