An Ottawa man accused of viciously attacking an elderly Lethbridge woman in her home has been found fit to stand trial.
21-year old Adam Hobkirk-Onate has recently completed a 60-day psychiatric assessment.
According to a report from the Southern Alberta Forensic Psychiatry Centre there’s no indication that he’s suffering from any mental disorder, and may be held criminally responsible for his actions.
Hobkirk-Onate is accused of sneaking into the basement of a 75 year old woman’s home on Fairway Street South in May, staying there for a day, and then beating her with a bicycle and stealing her vehicle. He’s charged with aggravated assault, housebreaking and disguise with intent.
Hobkirk-Onate will review the report with his lawyer and is scheduled to be back in a Lethbridge courtroom on Sept. 13th to take the next step.
