Mary Ann Cotton - Serial Killer Saturdays
Mary Ann Cotton is still renowned as one of England's worst serial killers. Accurate numbers are difficult, but estimates have her killing some 20 people, including her mother, her children, stepchildren, and 3 out of 4 husbands. The reason was financial gain, but she also seems to have struck when she got tired of the person. The deaths were agonisingly painful. A rival to Palmer or Burke and Hare.
