hangings

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)

Looks more like a study and possibly a place for some snacks.

I know for certain that this is a corner of the diningroom in one of the houses, "Storstugan" in Lysekil. I have been there. It looks the same today. Carl Curman was my great grandfather./ Ebba Curman

ebbacurman: Oh, thanks! That kind of expertice you represent is the absolutely best one! Thanks! As far as I remember the villas still belong to the Curman family, is that correct? / Lars L

Yes, the villas belong the ancesters of Carl Curman and are run as a company. Theys still look nearly exactly the same as when he died. It is as if you are staying in a living museum. Quite spectacular. The exterior has been renovated quite recently in a very careful way, where one tried to resemble the look of the villas from the beginning, with the exact colours and so on. /Ebba Curman
