Image description

Pierre Francois Lacenaire (1800-36) a French poet, murdered a transvestite Chardon and his mother in 1834. Jean-Francois Chardon was a prison acquaintance visited by Lacenaire at his lodgings in Passage du Cheval Rouge, Paris where he stabbed him in the back, his accomplice Avril finishing him off with a hatchet, while Lacenaire killed Chardon's mother using a shoemaker's awl. They were both executed by guillotine. In Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, Raskolnikov's crime was based on Lacenaire's.
