Teenager admits murdering his parents
BBC
Quote:
A public schoolboy has admitted killing his parents before using their credit cards to fund a £30,000 spending spree.
Brian Blackwell, 19, stabbed his father Sydney, 72, and mother Jacqueline, 61, Liverpool Crown Court was told.
Their bodies were found in September 2004 at their Merseyside home several weeks after they had been attacked.
Blackwell's admission of manslaughter with diminished responsibility was accepted by the Crown. He suffers from "narcissistic personality disorder".

Re: Teenager admits murdering his parents
Dunno what the proper medical description of it is but I found this
Quote:
|
Pathological narcissism and its extreme form, NPD, is characterized by extreme lack of empathy. The narcissist regards and treats other people as objects to be exploited. He uses them to obtain narcissistic supply. He believes that he is entitled to special treatment because he harbours these grandiose fantasies about himself. The narcissist is NOT self-aware. His cognition and emotions are distorted.
|
So I suppose they could and would argue that he wasn't aware that what he was doing was wrong

I don't think that's the excuse, I think it was the explanation.

It's an explanation that will no doubt reduce his sentence though. It's a shame that there is no fool-proof way of identifying personality disorders before they get so extreme.

Well maybe they will.Then we may end up with a Minority Report type sort of society with people labelled as being a danger to society being targeted before they cause any problems..

Re: Teenager admits murdering his parents
It's easy to dismiss an act due to mental illness as delinquency but if the mind is not working properly then you can't assume that someone can exercise their ability to choose to do something or not.

Re: Teenager admits murdering his parents
I think you've got to be mentally deranged to do such a terrible act, or just pure evil. Either one, justice has been served.
