Investigation on fatal madness. Double-crime in Pau | TF1 | Le Droit de savoir

As much feared it, the murderer who decapitated a nurse and assassinated a nurse’s aide at the psychiatric hospital of Pau, on December 17, 2004, was a former patient of the hospital, Romain Dupuy.

Schizophrene as adolescent, he worried his entourage, as testify many people: his former girl friend, his neighbors, his teacher… Even his parents, who had asked for his internment and who were not heard.

Could these cruel crimes be avoided? This is the opinion of the victims families and even of a part of the personnel of the hospital.

How such a dangerous man could be free to do what he pleased? The Romain Dupuy case is not an isolated one.

Two years ago, Vincent Grimler assassinated his parents by knife. Released by the judges, he is today treated in a hospital.

Why is he not treated in a UMD (Unit for Difficult Patient – the hardest asylum, for the most dangerous patients) in a psychiatric hospital?

It is in a UMD that Romain Dupuy was locked up, but after the double murder of Pau.

Investigation on fatal madness – a major documentary.
