A state board this week tentatively approved the transfer of a Clackamas County man who beheaded his mother from the Oregon State Hospital to a residential treatment facility in Umatilla later this year.

The state hospital team treating Joshua Webb, 43, this week recommended the Oregon Psychiatric Security Review Board approve Webb’s discharge from the hospital and eventual placement at Lifeways McNary Place, a 16-bed facility.
