The report further stated that Mr. Todman has a mood disorder, and he should remain in group therapy and on his medication, within the territory.

Magistrate Richards noted that the bail requirements that were laid upon Mr. Todman would be increased from $20,000 to $45,000, with two sureties and he has to continue taking medicine and attending group session.
The crown was represented by Leslie-Ann Faulkner.
Mr. Todman will return to court on October 16, 2012 for trial.
In a previous court hearing, Ms. Creque requested for the case to be adjourned for several months for the accused to attend a mental health facility in Santo Domingo, in the Dominican Republic, where he would be under keen observation and receive treatment for his mental disabilities.
Mr. Stephen Daniels, who was holding for Ms. Creque at the time, informed the court that there is also an existing matter in the High Court that involves the defendant being charged with another alleged burglary incident. He added that the court where Justice Albert Redhead presided gave the defendant time to attend the facility, and the case would resume upon his return.
