It's not just the murder, it's that terrifying realization of just how wrong the human mind can turn.
#FEMALE SERIAL KILLERS SERIAL#
In every case, the horror these female serial killers give us is the same. "And anyway, I like hurting little things that can't fight back." "Murder isn't that bad, we all die sometimes anyway," the young killer told her prison guards.

Like Mary Bell, the ten-year-old who horribly mutilated a three-year-old boy and carved her first initial on his belly. Like Jane Toppan, a nurse who poisoned her patients and gazed into their eyes, trying to "see the inner workings of the soul" as they painfully died.Īnd some use more violent means. But, as she put it herself: "After I got a baby something seemed to say in my ears, 'Get rid of it.'" Dyer made the babies overdose on opioids and threw their bodies in the river, slaughtering 400 infants before anyone stopped her. Like Amelia Dyer, who took in the unwanted babies of other women and promised to take them into her care. Some do it to get rid of unwanted children. "Remember you're stupid Remember you're ugly Remember you're fat Save yourself. "Be a perfect girlfriend for Paul," Homolka wrote in a letter to herself. Her massacre started with the twisted Christmas gift of letting Bernardo rape her 15-year-old sister Tammy so violently that she died from the brutality, choking on her vomit.

Like Karla Homolka, who tried to impress her boyfriend, Paul Bernardo, by helping him violently rape and murder a string of women in Scarborough, Ontario. Women in whom a malice and evil exists that twists them into the completely incomprehensible - female serial killers who show the darkness possible inside a human being. Across the history of our species, there have been women who have done unimaginable things. Humanity is capable of some horrifying things.
