episode 296: The Murder of the Duchess de Praslin
The Murder of the Duchess de Praslin
News of the Times Episode 296 | 1847
It is 1847 Paris France and astoundingly, the Duchess of Praslin has been found in a room, bolted from the inside, shockingly brutally murdered. She has put up a tremendous fight as bloody clumps of hair are found dotted around the room. In her death throes, she managed to violently ring the bell, thus bringing the skeleton staff rushing to her aid - most probably unexpectedly by the murderer.
This case rocked Europe and helped to overthrow France's governemnt of the time under King Louis Philippe. The letters left behind tragically and grapohically spell put the anguish of a womn overthrown for a younger model after decades of marraige together.
The brutal murder of the Duchess of Praslin is today's episode of Murderous Mondays.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
