France, it's really
new (tewety years ago). Now the police is researching serial
killers
(tueur en s鲩e), and, by a strange coﮣodence, it founds! But
there were a lot of serial killers before: Gilles de Rais,
the most famous, who was fighting with Jeanne of Arc again
the English, and raped, tortured, and murdered about 150
little boys (we don't know exactly how many because he was a
Lord, and the children are poor children, so in that
histrical context, not really important... poor children life
didn't matter!), Landru of course (Charlie Chaplin made a
movie about him :"Monsieur Verdoux", doctor Petiot, but the
booth are not exactly serial killers, even they killed a lot
of people, because they killed for money.

Seriality is probably a very old phenomenon. It may not have
had a name, but humans being what they are...
