This is a question that now arises regularly in this kind of business.
The killer of the rue d'Enghien, who killed three Kurds and injured three others on December 23, at the Ahmet Kaya cultural center, was he in full possession of his mental faculties?
According to a first psychiatric report, which our colleagues from Le
Parisien
were able to consult , William Malet, 69, “
was not affected at the time of the facts by a mental disorder that had abolished his discernment
”.
On the other hand, according to the report of the two psychiatrists mandated by the judge in charge of the investigation and delivered on January 16, "
one can consider his personality disorders in a register of paranoia as justifying, to a certain extent, that his discernment has been impaired
”.

A conclusion which immediately made the Kurdish community jump, which sees in this expertise an attempt to attenuate the responsibility of the killer.
“
She suggests the possibility that he is crazy, even though everything points to the total absence of mental pathology in him
”, denounced to the Ile-de-France daily Fidan Unlubayr, in charge of legal matters for the Kurdish Democratic Council in France (CDK -F).
Conflicting expertise
As
Le Parisien
observes , this examination indeed contrasts with another expert report, the report of which was submitted on August 31, 2022, six months before the attack, by another psychiatrist.
Imprisoned in the prison of Health for having attacked migrants with a saber, William Mallet was then described as a man “
with a solitary profile, anxious and insecure
”, but without “
any mental abnormality
”.
The individual was then released under judicial supervision on December 12, a few days before taking action.

In his expertise of January 16, the psychiatrists mandated in the rue d'Enghien affair explain that the man was in the grip of "
an experience of existential failure
", linked to the burglary of his pavilion in 2016. "
Feeling destitute, powerless, disarmed, he conceived the racist idea of a mass killing followed by suicide
, ”concludes the experts.
But the Kurdish activist Fidan Unlubayr deplores to the
Parisian
that we take "
at face value
" all of the killer's words.
“
We are told about indistinct racism even though it specifically targeted our community
,” she regrets.
The Kurdish community is also offended that the national anti-terrorist prosecutor's office has not been seized of this file.
