Convicted Serial Killer Alfredo Stranieri Dies in Detention at 68

Known as the 'Tueur aux petites annonces,' Stranieri was serving a life sentence for four murders tied to fraudulent property schemes.

Alfredo Stranieri, nicknamed the 'Tueur aux petites annonces' (classified ads killer), died at 68 in a Poissy hospital after battling a chronic illness.
Stranieri was convicted in 2003 of four murders committed between 1997 and 1999, targeting victims through fraudulent property transactions.
He gained infamy for his method of luring victims via classified ads, killing them, and taking over their properties and assets.
In 2013, Stranieri made headlines for marrying fellow inmate Germain Gaiffe, marking the first same-sex marriage between prisoners in France.
Stranieri consistently denied the murders during his trial, despite overwhelming evidence, and maintained his innocence until his death.
