Obehandlad psykisk sjukdom bakom dådet i Sydney

Obehandlad psykisk sjukdom pekas ut som skälet bakom att 40-årige Joel Cauchi högg ihjäl sex personer i en shoppinggalleria i Sydney i Australien, skriver AFP. Enligt Cauchis föräldrar diagnostiserades han med schizofreni som 17-åring.

Sjukdomen hölls länge under kontroll med hjälp av mediciner men på senare år ska medicineringen ha trappats ner och Cauchi ska gradvis ha fallit tillbaka i sjukdom.

Att fem av de sex dödsoffren var kvinnor har väckt frågor om offren valdes ut på grund av sitt kön. Men det avfärdar flera experter nu.

– Den större frågan om mäns våld mot kvinnor och att många kvinnor skadas eller dödas av män som inte är psykiskt sjuka är ett nationellt problem. Men det här fallet handlar inte om det, säger professor Ian Hickie vid University of Sydney’s Brain and Mind Centre.
