EspañolSLEEPWALKING MURDER CASES
(Redirected from Sleepwalking murder)
There have been several rare cases in which an alleged act of homicide has occurred, and the prime suspect may have committed the act while sleepwalking. About 68 cases to date have been known. [1] These cases have fared in various ways in the judicial system.
On October 30, 2004, the body of 83-year-old 'Edward Lowe' was found on his driveway in Manchester, UK. His son, Jules, admitted that he caused his father's death, but did not remember committing the act. He has used "automatism" as his defense. He was not convicted, but he was confined indefinitely to a mental institution.[2]
In 1999, 'Scott Falater', then 43, was convicted of stabbing his wife 'Yamila' to death in their backyard swimming pool two years earlier. His defense in the case was sleepwalking. [3]
