At least two of the three suspects currently under arrest in connection to the murder of two French tourists in the Argentine northern province of Salta last July, show signs of “psychotic, fabulist” behaviour, police authorities indicated.

Experts came to the conclusion that the behaviour of Gustavo Lassi and Daniel Vilte Laxe was that of a “psychotic, fabulist” person,” after several tests were ran on all suspects.

The four suspects in a Salta prison are thought to be responsible of the rape and murder of French tourists Cassandre Bouvier (29) and Houria Moumnie (23), last July 15th.

The exam results, which were released by Judge Martín Pérez, also complicate the situation of a third suspect, Santos Vera.

Studies have shown that Lasi’s personality “has a double standard and moral,” and he is also “a psychopath, cold, manipulative.”

He also has a “perverted language.”

At the same time, Vilte Laxi is “cold and addicted to the paco (cheap coarsely refined cocaine) drug, he is an alcoholic, likes to break the rules and feels no guilt”.

The report then explains that Santos Clemente Vera “does not speak spontaneously, thinks every words he says, has a double standard and moral.”

Forensic reports indicate that Lasi and Vera are the ones who raped Bouvier and Moumnie, who were caught by surprise as they were walking around the Quebrada de San Lorenzo area.

The killings shocked the peaceful northern province of Salta which has tourism as one of its main sources of income. French president Nicholas Sarkozy expressed special interest in having the case solved and President Cristina Fernandez in a recent trip to France met with the parents of one of the girls.
