  • In February, a 52-year-old man was slaughtered in the middle of the street in Grenoble by a schizophrenic woman.

  • The relatives of the victim filed a complaint against X for manslaughter in order to target the entire psychiatric community.

  • They deplore that the suspect in whom one had detected "a potential dangerousness" was not followed more.

  • In 2019, still in Grenoble, a psychiatrist was sentenced to 18 months suspended prison sentence for the murder of a young man by one of his patients.

Relatives of a fifty-year-old who had his throat cut in February in Grenoble, filed a complaint against X for manslaughter after discovering that the suspect, schizophrenic, was the subject of a former psychiatric follow-up because of a potential dangerousness, according to their lawyer.

This follow-up by decision of the authorities had been put in place for a long time after a violent act in his family environment, said on Saturday Me Hervé Gerbi, confirming information from the

Parisian

.

Guided by "voices"

At the end of February, the victim, aged 52, was killed with a blow from a cutter.

A 57-year-old woman then admitted the facts, evoking "voices" which would have pushed her to act, according to the prosecution.

She was hospitalized under duress.

It was previously followed in an open environment by a medico-psychological center managed by the Alpes-Isère hospital center in Saint-Egrève (Isère), a mental health establishment.

On the day of the incident, the suspect attended her daughter's funeral.

"We know that the situation experienced by this woman, confronted with her daughter's illness, had been perfectly identified as a risk of destabilization", indicates Me Gerbi, who therefore wonders about the patient support measures put in place. implemented by psychiatrists in this context.

"The responsibility does not stop at the doors of the hospital"

“An SDRE follow-up (Care on the decision of the State representative, Editor's note) has two cumulative conditions: mental disorders and risks to the safety of people.

And the responsibility for the assessment of this dangerousness does not stop at the doors of the hospital, it is even more important outside, ”said the lawyer.

In 2008 in Grenoble, a student was stabbed in the street by a schizophrenic patient from the Saint-Egrève hospital, who escaped from the park where he was allowed to go out.

His family, represented by Me Gerbi, obtained in 2019 the final sentence (to 18 months suspended prison sentence) of the psychiatrist who followed the murderer, for manslaughter.

This case had caused a stir in the world of psychiatry.
