Vidal, Ginette (b. 1931)

French murderer. Born 1931.

Moved in with married-lover Gerard Osselin in Clichy-sous-Bois (1972); made a written pact with him that, if either had relations with another, then the betrayed party had the right to take the other's life; in accordance with pact, murdered Osselin in his sleep with .22 rifle after he had begun seeing his wife again; dismayed by court's rejection of signed murder pact, received 10-year sentence.
