A hearing to determine the mental fitness of a man at the time a boy was beaten at a London provincial mental health facility has been set for January.
Greg Simard, 24, made a brief appearance this week in London?s adult therapeutic court. He?s charged with attempted murder, forcible confinement and two other charges in the beating of a 12-year-old resident of the Child and Parent Resource Institute on Sept. 9.
The boy was found in a wooded area behind the facility with what police described as ?severe trauma.?
Defence lawyer Jim Dean said Simard, led into court from cells in handcuffs, has been assessed by a psychiatrist and a report has been made available.
Simard?s hearing is set to determine if he is criminally responsible.
Ontario Court Justice Jeanine LeRoy agreed to set the hearing for Jan. 11. Simard remains in custody.
Children with mental health and developmental issues are treated at the facility in London?s west end.
