When most people think of serial killers and perhaps the most prolific of them all, a woman's name isn't the first to spring to mind.
The act of murder is not solely exclusive to just men but…it’s statistically proven that serial killers are more likely to be male.
However, what if I told you it may just be possible that the most prolific serial killer in history was an Italian woman who over a period of almost 20 years racked up around 600 victims.
Today on Macabre Mini Mysteries, we uncover the story of Giulia Tofana, the make-up murderess.
