According to experts, per Insider, serial killers have some common traits, and one of those mentioned — “poor behavior controls” — is present in Guy Georges. His violent tendencies came out at a young age, and it seemed that he had no control over his actions. After leaving the Morin family, Georges’ disturbing actions escalated. Throughout the late ’70s and early ’80s, he committed a series of crimes, including theft and assault. Per Crime and Investigation, Georges attacked a woman and assaulted and stabbed another when he was 17 years old. Both of his victims survived, but he was arrested and sentenced to a year in prison.

After his release, Georges raped and attacked women and left them to die, but they survived. His first murder was committed in 1991, and he was apprehended in 1997 after raping and murdering seven women. Most of his victims were taken in the region of Paris’ Bastille prison, thus the nickname “The Beast of Bastille.” An article from The Guardian covers the analysis of four psychiatrists who studied Georges. Dr. Henri Grynzspan said: “What was unbearable for him was the other person’s successful life, which reflected his own feelings of frustration and failure.” They further stated that his abandonment as a child might be the root cause of his actions. Georges was sentenced to life in prison in 2001 and will be eligible for parole after more than 20 years.
