Henri Désiré Landru

Henri Désiré Landru was a French serial killer, nicknamed the Bluebeard of Gambais. He murdered at least seven women in the village of Gambais between December 1915 and January 1919. Landru also killed at least three other women and a young man in the house he rented from December 1914 to August 1915 in the town of Vernouillet, a town 35 kilometres (22 mi) northwest of Paris. The true number of Landru's victims is suspected to be higher.
