b'Episode 221:\\xa0On the morning of December 31, 1888, in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, friends found 61-year-old fisherman Fran\\xe7ois Coupard dead in his fishing shack. Someone had brutally slain Coupard and had mutilated his body horribly after his murder. A quick investigation led to two men, Auguste Neel and Louis Ollivier, trying to flee to Newfoundland on a stolen fishing boat. The pair later admitted their roles in the murder and were tried and convicted. Ollivier was sentenced to 10 years at hard labour, while Neel, against whom the evidence was more solid, received a death sentence, which was carried out on August 24, 1889. This execution was the first and last in North America using a guillotine to do the deed.\\n\\nSources:\\nExecutedToday.com \\xbb auguste neel\\n19/02/1930 : Affaire NEEL Auguste et OLLIVIER Louis \\u2013 Saint-Pierre et Miquelon : Eph\\xe9m\\xe9rides\\naffaire n\\xe9el - Histoire des \\xeeles St Pierre et Miquelon\\nSaint Pierre and Miquelon - Wikipedia\\nL\\u2019\\xcele-aux-Marins - Wikipedia\\nCanada\\u2019s top court says voluntary extreme intoxication a defence in violent crimes | Globalnews.ca\\nR. v.
