1. Gaetana Stimoli
Gaetana Stimoli, of Aderno, Sicily, was responsible for the murders of 23 children. She would lure children to her home with the promise of treats, after which point she would give them some wine with traces of undiluted phosphoric acids, which is incredibly lethal to the human body.
The victims would then be sent on their way back home, but before they would get there, they would suffer excruciating bodily pain which led to an inevitable death. Stimoli had apparently lost two children of her own, believing their deaths to have stemmed from some sort of bewitchment. In order to achieve some form of karmic balance in her mind, Stimoli sought to take the lives of other children to avenge hers.
This occurred in the late 19th century, when witchcraft was a somewhat prevalent belief in secluded communities. Indeed, when her home was eventually searched, authorities found all the stock-in-trade of witchcraft they needed to confirm her extensive crimes.
