Dismembered in Paris - a French True Crime Story
News of the Times Episode 342 | 1878
1878 Paris. An owner of a small hostel roams her small hostelry to trace a pervading strong smell. She manages to trace it to a room that had been rented for a week by two students. Inside a cupboard is a package emitting the terrible stench. She opens it and inside she finds two arms and two legs. The head and trunk missing.
The missing and head and trunk of the poor unfortunate woman is eventually traced to a portmanteau that had been left at the train station.
This case gripped Paris. The story was considered so big, several of the English papers sent over correspondents to cover the case in person.
The case also touched upon the recent Evolutionary theory proposed by Darwin with one of the suspects having done a lecture after the murder relaying how the strong kill the weak as per Darwin’s theory.
We take a look at the background, the crime and the outcome of the case of the Dismemberment in Paris in today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
