Victor Joseph Prévost (born December 11, 1836 in Mormant, Seine-et-Marne - January 19, 1880 in Paris), also known as The La Chapelle Butcher and The Handsome Man, was a French former butcher, cuirassier, cent-gardes, policeman, murderer and possible serial killer.
He killed at least two victims, and tried to hide his crimes by decapitating his victims.
Because of his profession as a policeman in his neighborhood where he committed his crimes, his military past in a renowned elite corps and what he did with the victims' bodies, his case caused a great impact on the contemporary public: "Since the Abadie trial, no criminal case had interested the public as much."
