Interestingly enough, the story about the barber who killed strangers to be baked into his neighbor baker's pies also exists in Paris, in the rue Chanoinesse. There's no specific motive to the crimes, but it's clear that the baker sold said pies. What makes this funnier / ironic is that this shop is located near Notre-Dame, in a neighborhood that used to be reserved to members of the clergy. The baker thus made some of them unwitting cannibals. It is said to have happened in 1387 and is described in a 1612 book.
