Abstract
We present our abridged and free translation of an account of a double murder written in 1933 by Jacques Lacan, the wayward father of French psychoanalysis. We preface our translation with a brief introduction to Lacan's work and follow it with a discussion of the paper and its r elevance for forensic practice.
