I discovered something I never thought about before on Wikipedia. It's in several languages (most of us using the English one). I happened to be put onto the French one when looking up Marshal Sebastiani, the father of Fanny, Duchesse de Choiseul-Praslin, who was murdered in 1847 most likely by her husband Charles Theodore ("Theo"), Duc de Choiseul-Praslin. There was a reference to Sabastiani's younger brother, who was a diplomat, but when I pressed his name on the English Wikipedia page, the brother's was on the French page. I checked it out, looking up figures like Henri Landru, Joseph Vacher, and Henri Prazzin (my apologies for using the dark lettering, but in this case I felt it merited being used.
The French page on Prazzini is quite good in terms of illustrations of the killer, and of his three victims as they were found (in bed, with knife wounds). The text is in French (which is to be expected) and if you are bi-lingual it might pay to review it and even do a translation into English for us.
Others I looked up included Michel Eyraud (who killed M. Gouffe, the bailiff with Gabrielle Bompard in 1889), Eugen Weidmann, and Dr. Marcel Petiot. I could not find the other "P" killer of the 1880s, Prado.
