The Many Crimes of Marcel Petiot - Serial Killer
News of the Times Episode 358 | 1946
It is 1944 France, and a house in a better quarter of Paris has been chugging out a black acrid smoke with a terrible stench for days.

Finally, neighbours go to the door to complain, only to find a note on the door stating that the owner of the house is away.  Neighbours phone the police.

With the owner not arriving, the police contact the fire department who break in through a second floor window.  Making their way down, they are greeted by a horror array of bodies and body parts on every floor.  One of the firemen rushes out, vomiting.

So unfolds the story of one of France’s recognised worst serial killers, Dr Marcel Petiot.

We take a look at the history, the crimes, the capture and the execution of Marcel Petiot and his many crimes in today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
