10. Waltraud Wagner
She belonged to a team of nurses who had this interest of giving you more than you needed, isn’t this very humane and so much of a positive attitude, after all, nurses have the reputation of being clean, extremely polite, and quick acting on their job. Were you left to decay on your bed, and you called for your nurse and she didn’t turn up? Well this one did turn up, and she made sure you got your medicine on time and gave you more than you needed. Waltraud was a nurse until people in her care started dying one by one, in a very precise sequence. She was responsible for these deaths due to prearranged drug overdoses and other unmentionable means at the Lainz hospital in the 1980s. She was sentenced for life and charged for 15+17 counts of murder. We couldn’t do the math even, add the numbers and curse her soul once again. Who dies of common cold?
9. Mary Ann Cotton
Holy Mother of evil ! This one was a nurse as well, but don’t panic she was more instrumental and chemical in her ways. She knew how to cover her tracks and leave no evidence. She obeyed all the rules in the book of murderesses. She was careful of whom to choose, when to kill and how to kill. Over a twenty year phase she killed families, husbands she didn’t like, kids she thought were ugly, women she thought were religious, and step children who weren’t meant to be stepchildren in the first place by arsenic poisoning, I mean a lawyer isn’t that picky. I could have given her the honor of freeing people of their troubles, “The Arsenic Award”. She was oscillated (hanged) on 24 March 1873 at the Durham Prison.
8. Genene Jones
This one had a knack for babies. Who doesn’t, babies are so adorable, so pure, and so cozy and so naked. When I had my first child, I was half full of joy, and then I wanted another bag of pleasure, so I had another child, and so on and on. The point is that you just can’t stop at a baby; you need a dozen to satisfy the inner peace. Well people, this is what Genene Jones did only exactly the opposite; she was fired from her job at a local hospital because 20 babies died in her care for some reason. Twenty babies! What the hell! Then she got another job as a nurse at San Antonio Hospital where she killed another baby by injecting it with succinylcholine. That’s worse than arsenic poisoning. She was sentenced for 99 years.
7. Helene Jegado
The serial killing heritage is very deadly, one must stay away from it, but it was too late and this epidemic spread around honest people and turned them into beast of blood. Helene Jegado was a humble housemaid until she did the unimaginable, that is, started killing men, women and teenagers. A French local servant with a killer instinct murdered 36 people over the span of eighteen years. This French serial killer even went to extents of taking breaks between her activities. She was once caught for adding plant remains to the owner’s meal before it was served, the result; the guy died of food poisoning. She was eventually caught and decapitated on some ancient chair used for acute torture methods.
6. Jane Toppan
It seems that nursing was not a fair pay job back then, and after a little research you were to be pronounced a good doctor but that too was a shitty paying job. This thus could be a reason as why so many nurses turned to killing people, if you can’t cure them, kill them. Jane Toppan was from Boston, she was very popular among other nurses in the department, but after the death of numerous patients in her care, an autopsy revealed shocking details. The victims were killed with excessive amount of morphine and atropine. She was later caught and confessed willingly that she was responsible for 30 fatalities. She was pronounced insane and was sent to the local Asylum where at the age of 84, she perished.
5. Gesina Margaretha Gottfried
German medicine is very effective and popular, especially if used excessively and repeatedly. This heartless woman was made to be a lab experiment but somehow slipped away and started roasting guinea pigs for herself. She started with poisoning her husband, then her two children around 1815 with arsenic. Let’s put it this way she loved to kill her own blood, her parents, her next husband for the reason to inherit his fortune and then her brother who was a creditor. I mean if there was anybody remaining in her family was herself, by the way arsenic is actually used to commit suicide like during enemy negotiations etc. After this fiasco she worked for a household as a servant, there too, she murdered the entire generation. After found guilty of 30 victims she was put to death in 1828.
4. Belle Sorenson Gunness
Behold people, there goes the sweet Belle Gunness around the farm, just don’t go near her or she will skin you alive! She migrated to America from Norway where she married Peter Gunness and then murdered him for his insurance. The police was told that an accident had befallen him and that an axe had fallen on his head and he died on the spot. After a delay of 4 years she started luring people through fake advertisements called “Lonely Hearts” into her farm, where they met their demise. Suspicion grew and in 1908 the police burned down her farm and found the evidence and a headless nude body of her was found along with her three toddlers. Factually though, she faked her own death, a perfect trick serial killers use to go undercover somewhere else. Her score = 42
With our ranking climbing the death ladder, so is the number of victims. These were the two sisters who worked as pimps and recruited young women so that they could earn a top dollar through selling sex. As time passed and the recruited prostitutes turned ill after rough repeated sex, there was no patch up or even first aid, they were simply killed. To illustrate their point, some were killed with growing fetuses in them; I mean how gruesome can it be, when a breathing fetus is killed while it’s still half alive. Investigation led to the total figure of 91. In the mid-1960s these two were sentenced for 40 years in prison where Delfina died and Maria finished her sentence and then fled away.
2. Susannah Olah
Where does it say that all the prominent killers in history are the ones below 50 years of age or a killer realizes that he is one at the age of 13? I mean how hard can it be to turn oneself into a murdering tycoon? Well to prove this point, Susannah Olah is your answer, this woman started killing after she turned 40. When she first arrived at a Hungarian Village, she got a job as nurse and as a midwife. She saw the opportunity as caring for adult men, women and for newborns as a midwife. She poisoned whatever she could find in her care, even handicapped people. In short no one was safe. She was so convincing in her methods that she asked others for help in her poisoning duties and they readily agreed. A serial killer with a twist, she was caught when the law was passed in 1929 after which she committed suicide. Her score = up to 100
1. Countess Elizabeth Báthory
Listen to this “I am sister Dracula and I kill for blood” oh no! This isn’t what she said; she was known to people as the Countess Dracula and was responsible for killing people for blood because she believed that fresh blood stopped her from aging, what happened to those wrinkles on your face Miss Elizabeth? She admitted to have killed 650 women. She was from Hungary (didn’t know Dracula was that famous in Hungary too) and eventually she was arrested in 1611. She was beaten and tortured by the public and probably due to this and her age she was found dead in her own castle at Csejthe.
