A former college student who killed 2 strangers and chewed on one of their faces will be committed to a mental institution after a judge accepted his plea of not guilty by insanity.

Austin Harrouff was found not guilty by insanity after he killed two strangers in their garage in 2016

Austin Harrouff appears at a hearing in 2019. His case was delayed several years due to the COVID-19 pandemic Cindy Mishcon, Michelle’s sister, read to the court some of the contents of Harrouff’s text messages obtained by prosecutors. In the messages, Harrouff admits to heavy drug and alcohol abuse, driving drunk and high, and frequently blacking out.

Security footage from the restaurant shows Harrouff calmly leaving about 45 minutes before the attack. But after he left, Harrouff’s mother called 911 and warned authorities that her son was acting delusional. Harouff was at the time a 19-year-old bodybuilder and exercise science major at Florida State University. He claimed he was not under the influence of steroids or hallucinogenic drugs.
