He was also charged with attempted murder in an attack on a 70-year-old woman who survived. Puglisi had been diagnosed with schizophrenia, and a trial last week heard that he had not been taking his medication around the time of the stabbings. The Crown says it will seek to have Puglisi declared a high-risk offender.

Man found not criminally responsible for killing his mother, neighbour in Montreal suburb
A 45-year-old man who fatally stabbed his mother and a neighbour last year has been found not criminally responsible for his actions. A Quebec Superior Court judge accepted a joint recommendation by both the defence and prosecution on Monday and ordered Fabio Puglisi detained at Montreal's Philippe-Pinel Institute. Puglisi had been facing two second-degree murder charges for stabbing his mother, Élisabetta Puglisi-Caucci, 68, and his neighbour, Manon Blanchard, 53, to death in Vaudreuil-Dorion, Que., in February 2024. A third person was also taken to hospital with stab wounds. Puglisi has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and was not taking his medication around the time of the killings. The Crown will request that Puglisi be declared a high-risk accused. The designation allows for further restrictions on Puglisi and requires him to be detained in a mental health facility. Court documents show Puglisi has a long history of mental illness and has twice been found not criminally responsible for offences in 2012 and 2020.
