| | Dr. Marcel Petiot - Casebook: Jack the Ripper - Forums |
 | | Petiot always fascinated me because (as far as I can tell) he and Thomas Ley of Australia are the only two known multiple murderers who had fairly interesting political careers. |
 | | At least three business associates or critics died under odd circumstances that were traceable to Ley before he left Australia, went to England, and eventually arranged the murder of a man he thought of as a love rival. |
 | | Petiot, while committing his earliest crimes, had time to be elected a town Mayor (he was a socialist, oddly enough), and later served a term in the Chambre of Deputies. |
