forensic experts from Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences of Catalonia (IMELEC) defended this Tuesday that the accused of Inducing a friend with paranoid schizophrenia in 2019 to kill his own father, Alba Andreu, exaggerated his psychological problems, according to Efe.

The experts highlighted that Alba did not have any type of disorder or disability, that her intelligence was medium-low within normal limits, and that she had little emotional expressiveness, a tendency to isolate herself and traits of sadism.

One of the experts reported that the defendant explained the story he described in his statement at trial. Specifically, that her ex-partner and her friend, also her parricide, mistreated her, “he even raped her while he was at her in-laws’ house.” “An abused person is not blaming this person, quite the opposite,” she stressed, later emphasizing that victims who suffer gender-based violence feel guilt and do not explain the story “as if they were telling a story.”

Forensic experts believe that the defendant has a “moderate tendency” to negative presentationwho has the ability to manipulate his own image based on what may suit him and who wanted to show himself as a dependent and submissive person.
