Also, to look at the physical, psychological, social, and environmental aspects that affect female murderers, as well as motivation and victim choosing tactics. Among other things that contributed to the murderer's death Because of the violent techniques used and the large number of victims in the cases, the trial of serial homicide criminals has gotten a lot of attention from the media and the general public.
