August 24, 1952 - Patrick Tissier
His crimes spanned more than two decades, beginning when he was still a teenager, and the victims included children. Beyond the killings themselves, Tissier's case carried legislative weight — it directly prompted France to reform how its penal code addressed child murderers, leaving a procedural mark on the justice system that outlasted his convictions.
