 Joseph Vacher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joseph Vacher (1869 - December 31, 1898) was a French serial killer, sometimes known as The French Ripper due to comparisons to the more famous Jack the Ripper murderer of London, England in 1888.
Vacher was a drifter, simply moving from town to town in the South of France, surviving by begging.
The authorities had little evidence that Vacher was responsible for the rash of murders, but their suspect soon confessed to everything.
