Almost Perfect Crimes: The Troppman Affair

In September 1869, in Pantin not far away from Paris, seven horribly mutilated corpses were discovered. They belonged to Mrs Kink and her six children. The father of the family was nowhere to be found.

Despite maintaining his innocence, the murderer, Jean-Baptiste Troppman was caught and convicted. The Troppman affair, also known as the Pantin massacre, is considered as one of the most notorious crimes of the nineteenth century.
