Ep. 72. Christine and Léa Papin (The French Housemaid Murderers)

This week on WDDD? La Shaunda tells the story of an infamous double murder that shook the people of France during the early 1900's.  In February 1933, an unspeakably savage double murder occurred in the town of Le Mans. Two respectable, middle-class women— a mother and her daughter— fell victim to the brutality of their maids. The perpetrators were Christine and Léa Papin, two sisters who resided in the same household. Were they insane, or were they victims of abuse as they proclaimed during the trial? This haunting question lingers in the air, adding a layer of complexity to the shocking narrative of the double murder in Le Mans. Join us for the breakdown of this astonishing case.        Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WhyDeyDoDatPod    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whydeydodatpodcast    Email: [email protected]
