[edit] Biography
Born Guy Rampillon to a French mother and an American father (George Cartwright, a soldier) who abandoned him as a small child.[1]
From 1991 to 1997, Guy Georges assaulted, tortured, raped and killed seven women in the neighbourhood of the famed Revolutionary-era Parisian prison, the Bastille.[2]
Georges was arrested on March 26, 1998 and admitted his guilt to police. Described by psychiatrists as a "narcissistic psychopath",[3] he was sentenced in April 2001 to life imprisonment, without the possibility of parole for 22 years.[4][5][6]
