Editing Henri Désiré Landru (section)

== Trial and Execution ==
Landru stood trial on 11 counts of murder in November 1921. He was convicted on all counts, sentenced to death, and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillotine guillotined] three months later in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versailles,_Yvelines Versailles]. During his trial Landru traced a picture of his kitchen, including in it the stove in which he was accused of burning his victims. He gave this drawing to one of his lawyers, Auguste Navières du Treuil. In December 1967, the drawing was made public. Written in pencil on the back Landru stated, ''Ce n'est pas le mur derrière lequel il se passe quelque chose, mais bien la cuisinière dans laquelle on a brûlé quelque chose'' (It is not the wall behind which a thing takes place, but indeed the stove in which a thing has been burned). This has been interpreted as Landru's confession to his crimes.
