Stories about women locked in towers, fairy tales are born. We will never think that someone could be so cruel enough to put another man in jail and rob their lifetime, but in fact the Blanch Monnier thing is intertwined with terrifying fiction.
For twenty-five years, the French woman had been locked in her mother’s room, and she did not survive the scraps of the food she was thrown into. When Blanche was finally found in his prison, the police and the public were stunned by his poor condition and the worst conditions of the room. Blanche Monnier was known as the “La Sequestri de Poitiers” in France, and here is his sad story.
Locked
Blanche was born into a well-respected, capitalist family in Poitiers. He is a remarkable beauty and the most acclaimed material from many suitors. In 1874, Blanche, at the age of twenty-five, decided to marry an old lawyer. However, Panchin’s mother, Louis, did not accept the competition because she did not consider her daughter a wealthy enough.
Blanche planned to advance with the wedding despite her mother’s wishes. To prevent her daughter, Lewis locked her in a small, dark room in the family room. Lewis and his son Marcel told their friends and family that Blanche had died and had condoled his death for twenty-five years.
Innovation
On May 23, 1901, the Paris Attorney General received an anonymous letter, of which “mancier Attorney General: I have the honor to inform you of the exceptionally severe event. I am talking about a spinster locked in Madame Monnier’s house, half-starving for the past twenty-five years and living in a trash bin – in a word, in her own filth. ”
21 The police raided the Rue de la Vichiton, Madame Monnier & Marcel, who still lived in the house and waited quietly in the living room. The police went to the room and saw Blanche in a terrible situation.
Now fifty-year-old Blanche was the shadow of his former self. She was lying naked in a bed, and her body weighed only fifty-five pounds. The whole time he was imprisoned was not looking at the sun, he was afraid of the police and hiding his face under blankets.
The mattress where Blanche was lying was covered in spoiled food items from rotting, meat, vegetables, bread and oyster tiles. Blanche was covered with feces and bugs and the smell of the room was so strong that the police could not venture until they blocked the window.
The happy ending was robbed
Blanc was taken to the hotel-du hospital, where he was fed and bathed and happily told him how wonderful and free to be clean. Lewis was arrested and jailed; However, she died fifteen days after a gang of furious people saw him gather in front of her house.
Masal was sentenced to one year in prison, but quickly appealed the charges because he was a lawyer. Marcel blamed his mother for the whole affair, and he further handled him so that he could never leave. Marcel accused Blanche of complicity in his abuse, saying his sister was disturbed because he never tried to escape.
Since the “duty to recover” at the time was not part of France’s penal code, the police were allowed to release Marcel because there was nothing to keep him. Blanche was re-grown healthy, but she was mentally incapable, and there was theory that the constantly isolated incarceration drove her out of mind.
Blanche was diagnosed with several disorders, including schizophrenia, coprophilia and anorexia nervosa. He was sent to a psychiatric hospital in Flois, France and died in 1913 in peace. Blanche could not see his long-lost shooter after being released in 1885 after his unexpected death.
