Homicidal somnambulism, literally homicidal sleepwalking and colloquially known as sleepwalking murder, is the act of killing someone during an episode of sleepwalking. Occasionally, sleepwalkers kill people during their sleepwalking act. There have been several rare cases in which an alleged act of homicide has occurred, and the prime suspect may have committed the act while sleepwalking. About 68 cases to date have been known. One of them is French:Ledru Case
Robert Ledru, a French police detective, was asked to investigate a murder on the beach. Examining the evidence–the fatal bullet and some footprints–he decided he had been sleepwalking on the beach and fired the fatal shot. He turned himself in.
