It means the man will be monitored and held in a high-grade mental health facility until the ACT Administrative and Civil Tribunal decides to release him.When handing down Mapiou's verdict, Justice Belinda Baker said she was "satisfied" the man remained "a significant risk to the community".
The court was told he was having paranoid delusions and heard voices telling him the victim intended to assassinate him.
