RESUMEN

Introducción:

Cuando un hermano asesina a otro, hablamos de fratricidio, o sea, una forma de homicidio raramente vista en la práctica psiquiátrica. Dado que aún es un tema poco estudiado, la literatura científica no lo ha comprendido bien.

Objetivo:

Relatar el caso de un individuo con esquizofrenia paranoide que, habiendo asesinado a su hermano, fue evaluado en peritaje criminalístico para determinar su responsabilidad penal.

Métodos:

Se realizó una entrevista psiquiátrica, y el diagnóstico psiquiátrico se estableció con base en la entrevista y la observación de los registros periciales y hospitalarios, con los criterios diagnósticos del DSM-IV-TR. También se realizó una revisión bibliográfica sobre el tema.

Resultados:

Se consideró inimputable al paciente examinado en virtud de que padecía una enfermedad mental que afectaba por entero a su capacidad de comprensión y determinación con respecto al delito cometido.

Conclusiones:

El estudio de casos como este puede ilustrar e identificar factores motivadores relacionados con el comportamiento homicida de sujetos con trastornos mentales graves.
