Jean-Baptiste Troppman

Jean-Baptiste Troppmann was a French spree killer born in 1848 and executed on January 19, 1870.[1][2]

The Attorney General at Paris, Théodore Grandperret, gained much attention for his indictment of Troppmann.[3] His crimes are referenced in Mikhail Bakunin's book God and the State,[4] and his execution was witnessed and written about by Ivan Turgenev.[2][5] A reference is made to him in Hopscotch by Julio Cortázar.
