Magyar Poisoners. The story of a village of female killers
9.99 €
There are hardly any men left in this village.
They were all poisoned by women... Stories of the largest mass murder committed by women - Hungary's female poisoners killed between 50 and 300 people... The largest-scale serial killings committed by women took place in a quiet Hungarian village after World War I. Zsuzsanna Fazekasz, a local midwife, skillfully extracted arsenic from flypaper - and offered women to get rid of men who had become a burden after returning from the war. At first they used Auntie Juja's poison to get rid of their cruel and seriously ill spouses, but gradually they became bolder. Sick old people, unwanted children, guilty husbands - all fell victim to the poison because of domestic violence, poverty or desire for inheritance. The crimes were revealed only in 1929, when several dozen women were already involved in the criminal adventure, poisoning of men became commonplace, and the number of only proven victims reached 50 people ... Exciting and artistic, the book tells what atrocities push women desperation and how these crimes of a decade and a half long became known around the world.
