Man who killed his wife & left his toddler w/ severe brain damage is handed taxpayer-funded anger management counselling

[Sugar Cookie]

A notorious killer will have his anger management treatment paid for by the National Disability Insurance Scheme.

Raymond Holschier, 51, was jailed in 1991 for bashing his partner to death and leaving their 13-month-old daughter brain damaged.

Holschier, who now lives in Sydney, was released on parole three times but was sent back behind bars for breaches. He was released in 2014 having served his time.

The murderer is now out of prison but requires extensive mental health care and the National Disability Insurance Scheme has stepped up to fund treatment for his anger issues.

Victims advocate Howard Brown said the funding should not be used to help keep killers out of jail.

'NDIS doesn't have unlimited funds and we should not be depriving people who have not committed crimes from accessing that money.'

He said Corrective Services should foot the bill for Holschier's treatment instead.

A Department of Social Services spokesman said the NDIS was designed to support people with permanent and significant disability regardless of their personal circumstances or how their disability arose.

Holschier has extensive mental health needs, he receives treatment for chronic schizophrenia, which has to administered by injection as he will be at high risk of relapse if he misses it by just hours. He visits a psychologist, a psychiatrist and a counsellor to cope with his issues.

He was subject to extended supervision order (ESO) for high-risk offenders but that is due to run out in February.

Well this is a fucked up situation...

 

[Old Man Metal]

Well if they're not going to put him down (which clearly is the case), and they're not going to keep him locked up, someone's gotta foot the bill for the treatment that he obviously needs quite badly. Can't have him running about off his meds. Not good for him or society.

I have a few ideas about how to manage his anger...

Oh and a reciprocating saw and power supply.

1 imperial gallon of soft apple cider

I can't speak for Australia, but I know there is no such thing as sweet cider in England.

He needs to be put down just like a rabid dog. It would be merciful for the people who have to deal with the fact that he's out and about and their relative is dead and the baby brain damaged.

 

[Dead Stephanie]

Cut his throat. He will never be angry again.

A guy I was stationed in England with went on a pub crawl with the shop. Being teetotal, he didn't drink any of the ales or lagers or bitters or stouts or whiskys or wines the other guys were drinking, limiting himself to the cider. By the time they got back he was three sheets to the wind.
