Beast of Bastille: Guy Georges

Born Guy Rampillon, on 15 October 1962 in Angers, France, to an American father and a French mother. His father, George Cartwright, was a soldier who worked as a cook on the NATO bases. Abandoned by his parents when he was very young, Guy was taken in by the DDASS, the French social welfare service.

He was placed with a foster family and at the age of six, to aid in his adoption, was given the surname Georges, after his father. He was adopted by the Morins and grew up in a family of 12 adopted children.

The young Georges never really received the love, attention and stability he needed and soon began to show a violent and aggressive streak in his personality.
