- Abstract
The article reports on research which was conducted to investigate the factors associated with parricide in patients with schizophrenia who committed homicide. The factors that led to parricide were untreated psychotic symptoms including Capgras syndrome (CS) and offense-provoking events. It highlights that domestic violence by patients with schizophrenia needs to be a primary concern in the mental health field. Psychiatric problems of other family members should be investigated.
