A neighbor told investigators that Rick was believed to have a mental condition. Police are now conducting a follow-up investigation to determine the full details of the case.
In the Philippines, if a mother is killed by her own son, who allegedly suffers from a mental health disorder.
The case is still treated as a serious crime, but the suspect’s mental condition becomes an important factor in the investigation and trial.
Police will first arrest the suspect and file a complaint for parricide, which is punishable by life imprisonment.
However, if doctors later confirm through a psychiatric evaluation that the son was mentally unstable or insane at the time of the crime.
The suspect may not be held fully responsible under the law. Instead of being sent to prison, the court can order his confinement in a mental health facility for treatment and care.
He will stay there until doctors declare that he is no longer a danger to himself or others. Authorities and the court also take into account the safety of the community and the rights of the accused to proper medical treatment.
