abstract="BACKGROUND: Fratricide is the killing of one's own bother. It's a type of homicide rarely seen on psychiatric practice. This is still a theme which is poorly studied, and not well understood by the scientific literature. <br><br>OBJECTIVE: To report a case of a men, with paranoid schizophrenia that murdered his own bother and had a psychiatric forensic evaluation to establish his penal responsibility. <br><br>METHODS: A psychiatric interview was carried out and the psychiatric diagnosis was established based on the interview and analysis of forensic and medical records, using the DSM-IV-TR criteria. Literature review was held about the theme. <br><br>RESULTS: The examinee was considered not guilty by reason of insanity, due to the presence of a mental disorder that affected her entire understanding and volition of the practiced act. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: The study of such cases may illustrate and identify motivating factors related to homicidal behavior in individuals with severe mental disorders.<br><br>Copyright © 2015 Asociación Colombiana de Psiquiatría.
