A young woman went into a drugstore and never came home.

More than a decade later, the woman who killed her has been granted full freedom, reopening painful questions about justice, mental illness, and public safety.

WHAT HAPPENED

On Dec. 11, 2015, 28-year-old Rosemarie Junor was stabbed in the chest inside a Shoppers Drug Mart in downtown Toronto.

Junor had recently gotten married. She was rushed to the hospital but died days later from her injuries.

Police arrested Rohinie Bisesar, then a financial adviser. Prosecutors said the attack was unprovoked.

In 2018, a judge found Bisesar not criminally responsible for the killing because she was suffering from untreated schizophrenia and experiencing a psychotic episode at the time.

She spent years in a psychiatric hospital before being allowed to live in the community under supervision in late 2021.

On June 3, 2026, the Ontario Review Board granted Bisesar an absolute discharge, meaning she is no longer under the board's control or supervision.

FACT BOX

— What the evidence shows

• Victim: Rosemarie Junor, 28
• Date of attack: Dec. 11, 2015
• Bisesar found not criminally responsible in 2018
• Released into community supervision in 2021
• Absolute discharge granted June 3, 2026

THE BIGGER QUESTION

This case asks a hard question: What should happen when someone commits a deadly act during a severe mental health crisis?

The legal system is built on the idea that punishment requires responsibility. But families often feel there can never be enough accountability when a loved one is gone forever.

Another question is how society balances recovery with safety. If doctors and review boards believe a person no longer poses a threat, should that person remain under restrictions for life?

WHAT HAPPENS NOW

Bisesar is now free from the conditions and oversight that came with her previous status.

For Junor's family, the decision does not change the loss they have lived with since 2015. They have said they still grieve their daughter and hope Bisesar continues following her treatment plan.

The case is also likely to fuel debate about how mental health cases are handled when serious violence is involved.

WHAT WE STILL DON'T KNOW

What specific medical findings convinced the board that Bisesar no longer poses a threat?

• Will there be any voluntary treatment or support plan after her discharge?
• How will the board monitor outcomes from similar cases in the future?
