US EditionQuebecer who stabbed to death mother and a neighbour found not criminally responsible
- A Quebec Superior Court judge found 45-year-old Fabio Puglisi not criminally responsible for killing his mother and a neighbour in February 2024 in Vaudreuil-Dorion.
- Puglisi, diagnosed with schizophrenia, was not taking his medication during the stabbing spree, which led to charges including two counts of second-degree murder and attempted murder.
- The victims were Elisabetta Puglisi-Caucci, his 68-year-old mother, and 53-year-old Manon Blanchard, a neighbour who lived in the same condo tower, while a third woman aged 70 survived serious injuries.
- The court accepted a joint recommendation by defense and prosecution to detain Puglisi at Montreal's Philippe-Pinel Institute, while the Crown will seek his designation as a high-risk offender.
- This ruling implies Puglisi will be confined to a mental health facility under restrictions, reflecting his history of mental illness and the risks posed by his actions.
