When someone thinks of a serial killer, they probably imagine some sort of knife-wielding maniac who does his dirty work in the dead of night, silencing the screams innocent people for his own patients. pleasure. Just by looking at him, you would understand that he is crazy. However, Lydia Sherman was the opposite of all that. The Poisoner Queen managed to kill her three husbands and seven of their children in broad daylight with nothing but a little arsenic. Maybe she was crazy, but maybe she had motivations to kill such people. Lydia Sherman, the Connecticut murderer, has a story that can be difficult to understand, but should be known. Many people have killed with poison throughout the ages. In 2012, a woman named Deborah Cain was drinking her morning cup of coffee made by her husband when she noticed something strange: it seemed tinged with green. Suspicious of this strange coloring, Cain immediately called the police. After a police investigation, rat poison was discovered at the bottom of the coffee maker. The whole affair overflowed with suspicion; the woman's husband did not usually make her coffee. William Cain claimed he tried not to do anything else that would make her sick, but Deborah confirmed a friend warned her he was going to kill her. William Cain was arrested and put on trial on Wednesday, May 16, 2012. A long time ago in ancient Rome, there lived a woman named Locusta who was considered the professional poisoner of Rome. She was employed by Agrippina the Younger, the last wife of Emperor Claudius. She wanted him dead, so she gave the job to Locusta. Locust was able to kill him by serving him a plate of poisoned porridge... in the middle of a paper... that Lydia Sherman was guilty of all charges. At that time, Connecticut did not allow women to be hanged, so she was sentenced to life in prison, where she died at age 54. Lydia Sherman was a mysterious killer, and even after her wrongdoings, she is still relevant. I found it interesting that Sherman killed the people she should have loved the most: her family. However, I don't think the world would be better off without her. All life is sacred and we can learn from its mistakes. It may leave a bitter taste to those who know it, but it remains no less important. Without people like her in the past, people today would have no morals, since there would be nothing to base them on. The Poison Fiend was a strange, possibly troubled person, and I hope that after what she did we can be wise enough to know that they shouldn't repeat themselves..
