Guy Georges

VICTIMS: 7


I don't know a lot about Guy Georges, only what I was able to read on several online news-sites.
If you are able to fill in the blanks feel free to email me with the full facts (with full credit going to you)

We'll start this very brief bio with a word from Mr. Georges psychiatrists. Several said, at his court hearing, that Georges was a "narcissistic psychopath," and one doctor likened him to a cat that catches birds through natural impulse. They also warned that he could not be cured of his desire to kill. Sounds like a fun guy, huh?

"He is a diabolical personality...the incarnation of evil"
- Public Prosecutor Evelyne Lesieur.

So what did he do?

He killed 7 'attractive young women who appeared energetic and successful'. The murders took place in Paris between 1991 and 1997, with most being claimed near the Bastille in the east of the city. He stabbed all of his victims to death.

Anything odd about the case?

He was briefly detained in 1995 but was freed following limited DNA tests. It was not until after the seventh killing in 1997 that magistrates ordered detailed DNA tests that implicated Georges in at least four of the murders. He was finally arrested in 1998.

What did he get?

Life in prison. Apparently life usually means around 22 years in France, but Georges promised the court that he would not serve that amount of time.

Why?

I think I'll let Mr. Georges explain this one: "The sentence that you are going to impose on me is nothing, I will inflict a sentence upon myself," he said. "Twenty two years. That's nothing. Life is life. You can rest assured, I will never leave prison. But I can tell you that I won't serve this sentence."

Anything Else?

At the time of his sentencing in April of 2001 he was 38-years-old.

 


MY OPINION

I really wish I knew more about this one. I can't help but think this guy would make a great book, as all stabbing serial killers do. And this type of victims usually assures a complete nutjob killer, which always makes a good laugh for those of us with a twisted sense of humour. But since I know virtually nothing I can't really give an opinion about this guy. If only we knew more......
