20th century case
For this 4th episode, we look at Landru, often considered the first French serial killer.
Landru is said to have killed at least 11 women, possibly 12, within a few years just after WWI.
This is our second episode. It covers the murder of Laetitia Toureaux, a 29 year old girl without any troubles, in the Paris subway in 1937.
Our first episode takes us to the Drome area, South of Lyon in the south East of France. A gang of rubbers-murderers terrorises the area. Their modus operandi: making people talk by burning their feet and legs in their own fireplace.
