  • Jean Lanfray (1873/74 – 26 February 1906), a labourer who was French by birth but living in Switzerland, was convicted of murdering his pregnant wife and two children in a drunken rage on the afternoon of 28 August 1905 in Commugny, Switzerland. It was later revealed by police that he had drunk an excessive amount of wine and hard liquors that morning, along with two ounces of absinthe. However, due to the moral panic against absinthe in Europe at that time, his murders were blamed solely on the influence of absinthe, leading to a petition to ban absinthe in Switzerland shortly after the murders. The petition received 82,000 signatures and absinthe was banned in Vaud shortly thereafter. A 1908 constitutional referendum led to absinthe being banned in all of Switzerland, and absinthe was banned in most European countries (and the United States) before the outbreak of World War I.

  • Jean Lanfray (1873/74 - 26 februari 1906) was een Franse arbeider, alcoholist en moordenaar die in Zwitserland woonde. Hij is beschuldigd van de moord op zijn zwangere vrouw en twee kinderen. Later maakte de politie bekend dat hij een enorme hoeveelheid wijn en sterkedrank had gedronken, waaronder absint. Hierdoor staan deze moorden ook bekend als "de absintmoorden". Omdat absint op dat moment in Europa al in een slecht daglicht stond, werden zijn moorden enkel toegeschreven aan het overmatig gebruik van absint. Deze moorden waren aanleidingen tot het absintverbod. In 1908 werd absint voor het eerst verboden in Zwitserland, en vele andere Europese landen volgden dit voorbeeld. (nl)
