Djandoubi

 IN 1971, Djandoubi, who was employed as a labourer, suffered a serious accident at work that resulted in the Amputation of a leg, an event that had a psychological impact on him.

In 1973, he tried to force his lover, Élisabeth Bousquet, a twenty-one-year-old girl he had met while hospitalized, to prostitute herself, but she reported him.

Djandoubi was arrested and spent several months in prison. In July 1974, Djandoubi kidnapped Bousquet and tortured her, putting out several cigarettes on her breasts and genitals in front of two girls who were prostituting themselves for him.

Élisabeth managed to escape on foot, but Djandoubi caught up with her and strangled her. That same summer, he kidnapped another girl, who managed to escape and tell the police everything.

Arrested after a few months, Djandoubi was accused of torture and murder and sentenced to death. The sentence was carried out on September 10, 1977, at 4:40 in the morning, in the courtyard of the Marseille prison.
