I've decided that every time I come online I am going to update you all and teach you about past serial killers
Very interesting stuff!
Here's the first! It's one of my favorites:
Enriqueta, Marti
A self-styled witch who made her living through the sale and charms of potions, Enriquetta was arrested by police in Barcelona, Spain, in March 1912 on charges of abducting several local chidren. Her most recent victim, a young girl named Angelita, was rescued alive from the witch's lair, appalling police with a tale of murder and cannibalism. According to the girl, she had been forced by Enriquetta to partake of human flesh. Her "meal" had been the pitiful remains of yet another child, kidnapped by the murderess a short time earlier.
As ultimately pieced together by authorities, Enriqueta's local crimes had already claimed at least six victims. After murdering the children, she would boil their bodies down for use as prime ingreadients in her expensive "love potions." Convicted on the basis of her own confession, coupled with the testimoney of her sole surviving victim, Marti Enriqueta was condemned and executed for her crimes.
