RED DEER – An Alberta man facing a trial in the killing of a family doctor at a medical clinic is facing another review of his mental health.
Deng Mabiour, 54, was initially deemed fit to stand trial on a charge of first-degree murder after Dr. Walter Reynolds was killed at the Village Mall Walk-In Clinic in Red Deer last summer.

But in a video appearance, court was told that Mabiour would be the subject of an Alberta Review Board hearing on Wednesday to assess him further.
It was also revealed that Mabiour attended an appointment at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre in Calgary last Friday for a serious medical condition.
Mabiour, appearing by video from the Southern Alberta Forensic Psychiatry Centre, said little during his appearance except to confirm he still intends to represent himself at his trial, which is scheduled for November.
He will be back in court after his assessment on April 14.
