Regardless, the number of women who kill is still very low in comparison to men. Society does not think of women as being capable of sadistic crimes o. False: dr. herta oberheuser, a medical doctor in auschwitz death camps - killed children with oil and evipan solution (surgical anaesthetic) Conscious for 3-5 minuets before time of death, herta removed organs and limbs from the children while they were conscious. Purposely inflicted wounds on her victims, subsequently rubbing them with metal, rusty nails, glass and dirt to simulate combat. Women who kill, do so in primarily domestic conflicts - they generally plan their kills and do it because they want to or kill in self-defense. Female serial killers, especially while alone, are almost invisible to the public and can kill over many years.
