Various Female Serial Killers

Mary Ann Cotton: She is one of the most prolific serial killers in English history. She murdered an estimated 23 people over a 12 year span. Some of her victims included three husbands, ten children, five step-children and even a sister-in-law. Her method of killing was using arsenic to poison. She was sent to the gallows on March 24, 1873.

Gesina Gottfried: She was a native of Bremen, Germany. During a ten year span she poisoned 16 people. That total inlcuded three husbands, two young sons, her own parents, a brother, a friend and the wife and five children of an employer. She was arrested in March of 1828 and showed no remorse for her crimes. She even told officials that she was born without a conscience and she was beheaded in 1828.

Marie de Brinviliers: She was a spoiled daughter of a prominent Parisian family. She murdered her father, two brothers and possibly 50 other people as well. She used a posion that she would test on patients at a hospital. In July of 1676 she was beheaded for her crimes in front of Notre Dame Cathedral.

  2. wow interesting entry about women serial killers… :p

  3. I saw a document on Mary Ann Cotton it was very interesting. She was truly an evil person!

  4. Oh please, hell hath no fury like a MAN not a woman. Males commit serial and revenge killings and such far far more than women do.

  5. What I’m trying to figure out is “what was the motive behind such behavior?” I believe that every person has a reason to do such things. Reasons such as a bad childhood, tendency to distant themselves from others, or tramatizing events. Its always something.

  14. such an art.lol

  15. these are all goo but why doesn’t anybody ever talk about Elizabeth Bathory?

  16. I agree. Countess Elizabeth Bathory had more than 600 virgins killed in order to bath in their blood. She wished to retain her youthful beauty. She should definitely be at the top of the list!

  17. the Elizabeth Bathory murders had been greatly exaggerated. It wasn’t until a hundred or so years later that the story of her bathing in virgin blood to retain beauty was written. Actual released witness accounts never mentioned any of that… it is more realistic that her and her servents and friends murdered 100 people… together.

  18. -Elizabeth Bathory… she should deffinately be at the top of this page. Everything she did was fantastic. She pretty much tops theese three women.
    Not saying that these three wernt good… but, Elizabeth Bathory did better.

  21. female killers kill for a reason these men most have done something wrong, dont you think?

  22. Damn that is really bad i have read heaps of Serial killers pages but that is very bad man why is it that the girl serial killer are worst then the male serial killers people say that the males are bad but they aren’t even close to female serial killers.

  23. man. If us woman are ever going to prove to men that we don’t just kill with family with poison and never having to leave the house or get dirty one of us will have to go on a killing spree. I will vollenteer for such actions. I might not even get caught because of how little men think of female killers. I could even go on for years killing many. So WHO’s WITH ME??

    • Im not. Just because some me think little of us women it doesnt mean we have to kill to prove we’re better than them.

  24. Does anyone know who Kristen Gilbert is?

  25. Women use their brains to do thinks like this,and there are people who don’t have a concious it’s called schizophrenia. I never heard of Kristin Gilbert would like to know more

  26. Serial Killers dont have a damn reason to kill, they just DO. Very few people kill in self defense, AND I doubt they DID anything wrong.
