Magee, 57, overweight and diabetic, wants to be
transferred to a treatment program in west-end
Toronto geared towards reintegrating patients into
the community. Penetang officials strongly oppose
the move, warning Magee is too dangerous to be
allowed back into society. He has been in custody
since 1977 after being found not guilty by reason of
insanity for murdering three teenagers.


TORONTO -- A man nicknamed the Mad Slasher
says he's no longer a danger and
should be moved from the maximum-security
facility where's he's spent 29 years.
Christian Magee, found not guilty by reason of
insanity in the 1970s slayings, is asking Ontario's
highest court to approve a transfer from the
mental hospital where he's kept in what could be
the first step toward eventual freedom.
He wants to be moved to the medium-security
Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto,
where his release is more probable.
"I should've been moved years ago," Magee,
breaking his silence, said in a phone interview from
the Oak Ridge division of the Mental Health Centre
in Penetanguishene.


Magee was found not guilty of three counts of
first-degree murder, a count of rape and another
of indecent assault. He was committed to Oak Ridge.

Magee was 12 when he committed his first offence,
raping a 10-year-old girl. He committed three sex killings
and two sex assaults between 1974 and 1976 in the
Strathroy, Mt. Brydges and Forest areas.
He was arrested in London in 1976 at 28.
Found insane, he's since been kept in the high-security
Penetanguishene centre.
Magee suffers from a personality disorder and at least
three paraphilias, according to a psychiatric and
sexological report submitted in court.
In June 1976, Scholes had told his 15-year-old sister,
Susan Lynn, to wait until he finished work so he could
drive her back to their parents' cottage near Strathroy.
But she went on ahead anyway, later accepting a ride
from Magee, a familiar sight around town as he drove
a truck in his job picking up animal carcasses from
farms.
Magee raped her, then stabbed her in the throat, in
the back, and strangled her with her halter top, before
dumping the body in the basement of a deserted farm
house.
Magee's first victim was 19-year-old Judith Barksey,
whom he grabbed as she walked to her Strathroy
home in March 1974, and then slashed her throat as
she struggled, sexually assaulting her while she bled
to death.
He also murdered Louise Patricia Jenner, 19,
strangling her with a shoelace before stabbing her in
the throat with a knife as she fought with him in the
kitchen of her home in Mount Brydges in October 1975.
Aside from the murders, Magee also sexually assaulted
a teenager and raped a 14-year-old girl he picked up
while she was hitchhiking in London.

HAS THIS MAN SEEN THE ERRORS OF HIS WAYS?
MOST LIKELY NOT.
HOW MANY INSANE PEOPLE HAVE EVER BEEN CURED?
IF HE WAS INDEED INSANE!!!!
