Default Grisly crimes of the Dark Angel: Story of Victorian female serialkiller who murdered 21

The UKs first serial killer, and it was a *woman*.

It's going to be made into a tv series *Dark angel* and sounds fascinating.

Mary Ann Cotton was the Dark Angel serial killer of Victorian times
Its nearly 150 years since Mary Ann Cotton, Britains first serial
killer , was sent to the gallows, but the shame still hangs heavy over
her descendants.

The Black Widow murdered as many as 21 people before being sent to the
gallows in 1873 €“ 15 years before Jack the Ripper began stalking the
streets of Whitechapel.

Cotton is believed to have killed three of her four husbands to inherit
their money, along with 11 of her 13 children and her own mother.

And she used only two weapons to carry out her cruel and calculated
killing spree: her sex appeal and arsenic.
