Mass Murder In 1870
"Outside Paris’s La Roquette prison in 1870, mass murderer Jean-Baptiste Troppmann was guillotined for the sensational butchery of a family of eight. Katherine Taylor’s 'In the Theater of Criminal Justice' conceptualizes Troppmann’s crime and trial as a test case for the evolving public performance of justice. The Alsatian-born Troppmann, or Traupmann (French Wikipedia page | German) was apprehended trying to catch a ship for America shortly after a murdered woman and her five murdered children were discovered on the Plaine de Pantin on the outskirts of Paris." There are only 6 victims pictured, including the mum. I don't know about the other 2.  · |
