The murder of the Little Pastry Chef is a French criminal case that began on 22 September 1892 when Gustave Bisson also called Ernest Dubuisson, and mainly known as the 'Little Pastry Chef', an informant for the French police among anarchists in Le Havre and the northern suburbs of Paris, was assassinated in Saint-Denis.
Following the discovery of informant Gustave Bisson's body, strangled and lacerated with several stab wounds, in the Saint-Denis canal, the police initiated searches and proceeded to arrest several anarchists. Henri Meyrueis and Bernard Chappuliot were quickly considered the main perpetrators of the assassination and were sentenced to lifelong deportation to a penal colony.
