He had better be classified as a high risk offender. For context the Greyhound Bus Beheader only served a decade because they were not classified as such.

A person undergoing a working treatment plan should be allowed a second chance in society.

If someone lacks the mental faculties to be held criminally responsible than they should have to complete it first. But yea no shit. I know you're just reddit dunking but come on dude. 28 years ago they'd be facing the death penalty.

The death penalty was abolished in Canada in 1976 except for cases in military law so more like fifty years ago.
