Richard Kachkar

Richard Kachkar has been deemed not criminally responsible for the tragic killing of police Sgt. Ryan Russell. The court established that, at the time of the act, Kachkar was experiencing a serious mental illness that prevented him from understanding the nature of his actions. Three leading forensic psychiatrists confirmed he was in a psychotic episode during the incident. As a result of this verdict, Kachkar may face options such as an absolute discharge or indefinite detention in a mental health facility, depending on further evaluations.
