In the moment of their attacks, a schizo may not understand or grasp the severity of their actions but afterwards and after treatment they realize what has happened. Depression is common for schizophrenics as a result of this.
A sociopathic murderer doesn't care before, during or after. They can't relate to people because they show no ability to empathize. They can't be rehabilitated with any amount of treatment. They will continue the desire to kill/feel powerful.

I recall Vincent Li asked the police to kill him after he came down from his episode. I'm not sure that I want him walking around free, but I do think he feels genuine remorse.
I know one person that is schizophrenic and I couldn't imagine him ever hurting anyone. There are just so many different variations of the disease.
