Yishai Shlissel (sometimes spelled “Schlissel”), the haredi terrorist who stabbed six people during Jerusalem's Gay Pride Parade last month, killing one of them, a 16-year-old girl, will be admitted to a psychiatric hospital for extended observation to determine if he is fit to stand trial, Ha’aretz reported based on a report by Channel 10 News.
Shlissel has a remand hearing today in the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court and the Jerusalem District psychiatrist is reportedly expected to say that the preliminary psychiatric evaluation of Shlissel did not determine whether he is fit to stand trial. The Jerusalem District psychiatrist will then ask that Shlissel be admitted to a psychiatric institution for extended observation.
Shlissel also carried out an attack on the gay Pride Parade ten years ago, stabbing four people. He was jailed for ten years and was sane enough to be released from prison only three weeks before this year’s attack. He was not considered to be a danger to others by police or the Prisons Authority at that time.
Update 11:12 am CDT – Shlissel was remanded by the court today for an additional ten days, and was ordered by the court to be transferred to a psychiatric facility 48 hours during which he will be evaluated for fitness to stand trial.
