Anna Zwanziger | The Poisonous Housekeeper
Our murderess of the week is Anna Zwanzinger of Bavaria, Germany. She would poison her employers with arsenic, and then help nurse them back to health so they held her in higher favor and were grateful of her. Not exactly the best way to win employee of the month.

Yiya Murano: Argentina's Serial Killer
This week we are taking a trip to Argentina, where we’re learning about Maria de las Mercedes Bernardina Bolla Aponte de Murano, better known as Yiya Murano. Her case is one of the most famous in Argentina, and she was imprisoned for sixteen years for committing 3 different murders. Sixteen years really doesn’t seem like much when it comes to killing 3 different people, if I’m being honest. MERCH: frumiousreads.com/shop Website: frumiousreads.com/a-murderess-affair
