The investigative court number 3 of Figueres has ordered the admission to a psychiatric center for the 22-year-old who last Monday killed his father with a knife to the neck at the home where they both lived in Vilafant (Alt Empordà). .
The detainee will go to court when the magistrate receives the medical reports that prove that he is fit to do so.
According to the Catalan News Agency (ACN), the opinion of the forensics of the Institute of Legal Medicine of Girona indicates that the suspect suffers from a “possible psychic anomaly” due to psychosis, which prevents him from giving a statement at this time.
The events charged to him occurred at midnight last Monday, when the young man would have stabbed his father at neck level, which caused his death. The 50-year-old victim was an imam in a Roses mosque.
After the events, the young man entrenched himself in the bathroom of the house where he ended up being detained by the Mossos d’Esquadra.
