  Who tells a story like this better than The Daily Mail !   [UK] "The Black Widow: Serial killer Louisa Collins was hanged for the poisoning murders of her two husbands ... but did she kill a third victim and was she executed unfairly? • Sydney mother of ten Louisa Collins was Australia's first female serial killer • She murdered two husbands with rat poison but may have killed a third • She was called the 'Borgia of Botany' because she used arsenic and watched her victims die • The author of a new book 'Black Widow' says Collins didn't deserve to die • Collins was the last Australia woman hanged in Sydney in 1889" Click the link to Read All About It! ;) Note: Lousia s/b Louisa (in two places)
