The troubled “weirdo” accused of killing his elderly parents inside their Brooklyn home was canned from his job and placed on medication before the deadly encounter, authorities said.

Meyer Sperber allegedly flew into a rage Saturday night, knifing his 75-year-old parents, Jacob and Rachel Sperber, over and over again in the family’s Borough Park apartment before “yelling in Yiddish and praying” when cops coaxed him into surrendering, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said Tuesday.

It wasn’t immediately clear where Meyer Sperber had worked or what medication he was taking ahead of the shocking attack. The unhinged son plunged a knife into his father a dozen times, hitting his lung, and stabbed his mother six times in the neck, head and thigh, Kenny said.

Loses job. Needs money. Parents have money. Kill parents and blame the new meds and get not only parents money but sue drug company.

Even the corrupt Big Pharma ads say there is a danger of suicidal ideations and so on from the drugs——and some admit it can happen after abrupt cessation.

Anti-war icon Abbie Hoffman apparently died from stopping his anti-despressants and getting the idea to commit suicide. His condition was worse than before he was prescribed any drugs.

Being a "weido" isn't a diagnosis. What med what was it for, how long had he been on it, or had he stopped taking it?

Psych meds aren't an on/off switch. You actually have to stay on them a while for them to have effect. And, no one forces someone to stay on them.
