- The Fenayrou Case - A French Murder Tale
News of the Times Episode 344 | 1882
1882 France and the Fenayrou marriage has been disintegrating. Filled with infidelities, gambling, and fraud. Facing financial ruin, the wife confesses her infidelities which includes their now successful previous apprentice. The news sends the husband into an absolute fury.
This case was THE topic of discussion in France at the time. It had it all: love affairs, a crime of passion and a horrific murder including the sewing of the lips together of the corpse to stop it from floating.
We take a look at the background, the crime, the outcome and the post script in this true French crime story, The Fenayrou Case, in today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.
Hosted by Robin Coles.

A gruesome but intriguing story. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you liked it! It is SO French!! 😉
Listened to this one 3 times. Oh my goodness... On one hand, this is an old lesson to stay out of people's marriages. However, 3 against 1 and the brutality. The surprise at the second trial and the revised sentence. Riveting and excellent tale. Thanks Robin and team.
@@ChronicleofTheTimes2024 YES!!! on becoming friends with the trunk murderess... birds of a feather you say? 😬
So glad you liked it!! 🙏We really liked this one and one can understand why it was the case of the year in france.! the story is so french!! Interestingly she became best mates with gabrielle - the trunk murderess who attracted a rich man, then in the middle of intimacy her partner slipped a noose around his neck and hung him. Gosh - the French really do these things quite spectacularly. 🤔😉
Just a bit 😉
Ready from NJ USA Robin. Will be watching again soon
Top of the morning! Nice to hear from you!🙌
Y'all know that y'all are putting them up faster than I can watch them! I'll find a way!
here to serve...😉
Wow!! This was rather a gruesome affair, wasn't it?! Fenayrou, with the assistance of his brother, really vented his rage, jealousy, vindictiveness, and frustration on Aubert, didn't he?! Mind you, Aubert's bragging about the affair must've really added petrol to the flames of Fenayrou's rage!! It's still no excuse for murder though!!
I can't believe Fenayrou literally got away with murder!!
Thanks for sharing this intriguing story, Robin!!❤💞👏👍💕
Glad you liked it! We quite liked this one and it was super famous at the time! Yes, the whole thing seems based on jealousy. We do not believe he completyely cared that she had had an affair with him - she had been having loads of affairs - we think it was because Aubert was a success and Fenayrou was not. He comes across as such a dissipated charachter - actually the pair of them. No word on the children - but that is quite usual. Possibly because the news is coming secondhand from France, there is rarely any mention of the children in the french crimes. 🤔
I do feel sorry for any children involved!! 💔
@@nadiabrook7871 We do too! There were two -we have no idea what happned to them 🤔poor mites - it sounds like it would have been a nightmare household to grow up in.
@@wendyscotchmer5204 It would have been!! I'll bet the parents quarrelled constantly!! Then, their mother's lovers must've been regular visitors when Papa was away drinking and gambling!! Also, I can imagine said Papa wondering if the children were even HIS!! Poor wee mites indeed!!💔
Very good. Enjoyed. Thank you.
Thank you - glad you liked!🙏
Great narration as ever xxx Thankyou for sharing and big thanks to you and your team for starting your channel. Xxx
How kind! Thank you!! With this being france / american month in honour of the respective national holidays, we will be peppering the month with a variety of stories from the two countries plus Canada as seen in the papers. Thank you so much for your support of our small independent channel - very much appreciated!!🙏
I’ve been to New Caledonia a couple of times. Not bad getting transported as a convict to a tropical island in the South Pacific
We have never been! We know that New Zealand is fantastic now, but apparently it was the worst of the worst of the worst back in the day for a prisoner....🤔
What an interesting story. Incredible! The news of the times crew must spend a lot of time researching these things. Excellent reporting and delivery. Tallyhoooo from America!
Really glad you liked! Yes, we thought this was good one! Very French! Nice to hear from you old chap!🙌
Interesting that the French could find a person guilty of murder with extenuating circumstances long before the British. Maria Manning was hanged for more or less the same crime as Gabrielle
I think the French have always had the Crime of Passion defence.
Ooooh true crime buff! Very similar crimes! - quite true! There was a difference of around 40 years. The law had changed enormously within 40 years. Not quite so rigid and more open to extenuating circumstances. Although your are quite right - the English and french approaches to the law were very different! You probably already know this - it was said that Maria manning was the basis for the slightly crazy and rather intense charachter of Hortense from Dickens' Bleak House. Diickens (and we believe thackery) attended the execution of the Mannings and was apalled.
I have a great story about juries here in Texas but it would be too long for here. Just say, true justice is ever elusive.
The states has some really fabulous crime stories! We have a few more American stories that will be pepperd throughout july through the voice of the British press! We are trying to find a Canadian one too! Thank you, as always, for your kind support!🙏
