Biography[edit | edit source]
Early life[edit | edit source]
Together with her older sister Valérie, Amélie was born to Marguerite Monvoisin and was thus a granddaughter of the fortune teller and poisoner Catherine Monvoisin. Marguerite carried on with the family business,[1] and left behind a document stipulating that her fortune was to be given to the next eldest female in the family. After their mother's death, Valérie inherited the monetary fortune and only gave Amélie the jewelry their mother had left behind, which she considered to be useless.[2]
Amélie soon grew jealous and sought to be free of her sister's grasp by attaining financial independence. Due to the law, however, the family fortune came to be controlled by Valérie's husband, keeping Amélie from inheriting it.[2]
Dinner party murder[edit | edit source]
During the French Revolution, Valérie's husband passed away and, in his will, left control of the family finances to a trusted friend, Georges Villiers-Segonzac. Seeing an opportunity to achieve her goal, Amélie devised a plan to murder her sister and frame Georges for the crime, hoping this would allow her to finally claim the fortune for herself.[2]
Amélie later attended a dinner party with other family members and friends. As Valérie was contending with Georges over her late husband's will, she became belligerent and rude to the guests before storming out into the garden. Amélie decided to enact her plan and recreated their old family poison, placing it in a trick ring. When Lucille Tuchet, the lover of Valérie's son Pierre Duclos, tried to give Valérie a cup of hot chocolate to calm her nerves, Amélie stopped her and took the cup. She then emptied the ring's poison into the cup and gave it to an oblivious Georges, suggesting that he offer Valérie the hot chocolate as a peace offering.[2]
Within a short amount of time, Valérie died from ingesting the poison, prompting a police investigation of the crime. The French Assassin Arno Dorian arrived to search for clues and questioned all the witnesses, including Amélie, who played the role of a concerned sister and informed him of Valérie's conflict with Georges. Despite this attempt to frame Georges for Valérie's murder, Arno eventually discovered that Amélie was the culprit and confronted her. After confessing, Amélie was arrested and sent to jail.[2]
