Carlos Colina Jr., 33, had reportedly spoken to Jonathan Camilien about his diagnosis before — that he sometimes heard voices, thought the devil was after him, and had killed a dog, according to court records obtained by the Globe.
Cambridge police found a duffel bag containing Camilien’s torso and some of his limbs on a walkway near Biogen on April 4. Remains were also found inside Colina’s apartment building on Sixth Street, in a recycling bin near Colina’s unit.
Colina’s father told the Globe that his son was 16 when he was diagnosed with schizophrenia.
“His mom and me spent a lifetime getting different answers from different doctors,” Carlos Colina Sr. told the Globe. “He has had a very hard life.”
