Marie Alexandrine Becker

(-)

A native of Liege, Belgium, Marie poisoned her way to infamy with the help of her trusty Digitalis. Her first victim -- her cabinet making husband -- succumbed to a lethal dose of the poison in 1932 when she found a younger lover. Within two years she grew tired of her young stud and dispatched him in the same manner as her husband.

A late bloomer Marie became a sexual beast as she approached her middle age. Apparently she could only satiate her appetite with younger men whom sometimes she had to pay to get in bed. To afford her lust she started a side business as a thief and poisoner. Her victims of choice were elderly ladies who hired her as their nurse or who came calling to her clothing store.

Between 1935 and 1936 Marie fed lethal doses of digitalis to nine acquaintances. She was arrested after a friend confided to her about the cheating ways of her husband and Marie suggested ending his infidelities permanently with her digitalis. On October, 1936, the friend told authorities Marie was arrested with a vial of the poison in her purse. Police linked her to all her victims and found traces on poison in their corpses. They also found piles of clothing and jewelry in her apartment.

Although she always maintained her innocence, Marie was found guilty and spent the rest of her life in jail.
