The Bare-Handed Killer: Mamadou Traoré
In just seven months in 1996, six women in Paris were attacked with such extreme force that police believed a baseball bat had been used. Two of them died. There was no weapon—only a pair of bare hands.
Host Alexander Lawson recounts the crimes of Mamadou Traoré, the Senegalese-born Frenchman known as le tueur aux mains nues. From the brutal assaults that left survivors permanently injured to the shocking courtroom claim of a supernatural curse, this episode examines one of France’s most disturbing serial cases of the 1990s.
