 | | Hamida Djandoubi (1949?â“10 September 1977) was the last person to be guillotined in France, at Baumettes Prison in Marseille. |
 | | On his return Djandoubi warned the two girls to say nothing of what they had seen, and it was not until Bousquet's body was identified one month after its discovery in a shed by two children on 7 July 1974 that the girls finally found the courage to take their story to the authorities. |
 | | An appeal against his sentence was rejected on 9 June, and in the early morning of 10 September 1977, Djandoubi was awoken to be informed that all hope of a presidential reprieve had failed. |
