PAU, France (Reuters) - A nurse was decapitated and another stabbed to death overnight in the psychiatric hospital where they worked in this southwestern French town, a medical source said Saturday.
The head of the decapitated nurse was found on top of a television in the geriatric ward, the source said. The second nurse had been stabbed in the neck.
"This is unspeakable, scandalous and horrible," said Health Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy, who rushed to the hospital in this town just north of the Pyrenees Mountains. "It was certainly someone very sick who did this."
Hospital workers arriving for the Saturday morning shift found the two nurses dead, a medical source said.
Local prosecutor Eric Maurel said there were indications that a hospital window had been forced open.
"Five people are now in police custody," he told journalists, without giving details of the deaths. "We are investigating but we cannot say whether these persons are directly linked with the event."
During his visit, Douste-Blazy -- who is a physician by training -- met relatives of the victims and then spoke to shocked hospital staff.

Yeah, what I love about our media is that they'll tell us about a crime and that the police are looking for a specific person, but the MSM refuses to give a description. How can the public be expected to help the police in finding the wanted guy when the MSM won't give us a description? Are we just to assume that no description means black?
To: DoughtyOne
Yeah. I think someone is up to no good.

Yep, you must read The Los Angeles Times the same way that I do!
Surely the work of...
Islamics or Islamic sympathizers just doing what Islamics do.
IF it wasn't, they newspaper would be telling us how Chnristian nutburgers were the perps.
(OK, there may be some other really off-the-map explanation...but more likely
that would be a "cover-story".)

It's what isn't said in this report that screams out at you. You mean, the scream of "Allah-u akbar!" just before the beheading?
