A case of murder perpetrated by a subject with paranoid schizophrenia is illustrated and, at the time of the events, he presented an acute psychotic crisis in the absence of antipsychotic medication due to abandonment of treatment. The clinical-symptomatological phenomenology of the perpetrator and the type of psychotic-paranoid thought that he showed at the time of the psychological-forensic interviews are described.
