- The Four-Fold Murders in France
News of the Times Episode 347 | 1864
In today’s episode it is 1864 in the Haute Pyrenees of France and a dilapidated chateau, run by an elderly gentleman with his four servant, remains shuttered unusually. The gentleman who owns the run down chateau is known as a bit of an eccentric - rumours have it that he is very rich, but he tends to keep himself to himself. Yet, even though eccentric, the chateau would normally have been open by the servants by now.
One of the locals goes in to investigate. A scene of horror emerges with gruesome, bloody deaths of the three servants and the old man as well. The cook’s head has nearly been cut off. The murders are not merely murders, the nature of the destructive wounds would seem to almost indicate a type or frenzied vengeance.
The four fold murder, as it became known in both France and England, was investigated zealously. Questions still remain as to whether the police captured the right people or if a miscarriage of justice took place.
We investigate the crime the evidence and the conclusion of the Fourfold murder in today’s episode of Sinister Saturdays.
Hosted by Robin Coles.

Well, this was rather a bloody affair, wasn't it?! No wonder the police were desperate to convict the suspects, despite the lack of evidence!! I wonder what happened to the stolen booty?!
Well done on another VERY well researched story, Robin and team!! 👏💕💞👍❤
Very good point! They found SOME of the money, but not all. It was interesting to us that the first step Latour wanted to take was to marry! Which, of course, required money...There are many to this day who do not believe that Audony was guiity and that the arrest was desperation by the police.🤔
@@newsofthetimes Would the police have been so quick to solve this case had the victims been poor, I wonder?!🤔🤔
@@nadiabrook7871 Great point! Probably not sadly....🤔
@@ChronicleofTheTimes2024 Also, were they trying to get rid of one of the suspects, who seemed like a career criminal?!🤔🤔
@@nadiabrook7871 The English papers were not impressed at all by the evidence or the trial. latour was probably guilty of many things - but sovicious a murder? - according ot the English press, this was unproven. Instead, they found him guilty based on his previous histroy - which we have seen the english do especially in cases involving women, eg Maybrick
