Dermatologist Killed Over Acne Prescription?

This was quite a bizarre story that I read, to say the least.  Apparently a French citizen was picked up on the island of St. Martin, for allegedly stabbing his dermatologist, Dr. David Cornbleet, fatally.  The reason he stabbed him to death in his office is even more bizarre.  Apparently, Dr. Cornbleet’s son is alleging that the man went ballistic because his father, the dermatologist, prescribed the suspect an acne medication which the suspect said had rendered him impotent. 

There was no hint in the article as to what acne medication it might have been, and I’m not sure that any of the acne medications I know of are known to possibly cause impotence in men, but I’m sure it’s on the side effects list of at least one acne medicine, since there are quite a few these days. 

Since the French government does not extradite suspects for trying if the potential punishment could be the death penalty, it is doubtful this suspect would be extradited.  He needs to be, because someone cannot just get away with not being tried if they are seriously suspected of committing murder, especially over something so pointless.
