Everyone has long known that peace and kindness do not always reign in the world as we would like. There are definitely people who are called to upset the balance and harmony. There have been countless such individuals throughout the history of mankind. These are maniacs, murderers, thieves and so on. And many of them disturbed the peace of not one or two people, but several dozen. They were nicknamed serial killers, which we will now talk about.
Fifth place - Elizabeth Bathory
The girl nicknamed "The Bloody Countess" was born in early August 1560 in the Kingdom of Hungary. She is currently in the Guinness Book of Records as the woman with the highest number of murders in history. But, unfortunately, it is still not known exactly how many people she sent to the next world. According to some reports, Elizabeth killed about seven hundred women by cruel torture, which none could withstand. At ten years old, the girl was married to Ferenc Nadashdem, who was one of the sons of the baron. Most likely, the reason for such an unequal union was political motives. There were about five thousand guests at the wedding.
Elizaveta Bathory
Elizabeth's first child was born at the age of 25. Subsequently, the woman will have six children.
Unfortunately, the mother practically did not see the children, leaving them to be raised by the governess. There was an opinion that there was another child who was killed in infancy due to the fact that his father was a servant of the castle where the girl lived. Over time, some girls began to disappear. A servant of the castle told the authorities that Elizabeth was involved in the disappearance of innocent girls. The Hungarian authorities have launched an investigation. In its course, it turned out that the woman lured poor girls to her castle, offering them work as a servant. Later, she brutally killed them, causing grievous bodily harm, burning them, inserting needles under her nails, and so on. As a result, Elizaveta Bathory was arrested. With her, four more people went to the cell, who fraudulently lured the girls into the property. Later she was transferred to a solitary confinement cell, where there were only openings for feeding. There she died.

Already at a young age, she ran away from home with her friends (guys), who were many years older than her. The character was very jealous. The first husband was a wealthy merchant, from whom Renzi gave birth to a son. Suspecting her husband of treason, she poured poison on him, as a result of which he died, and the killer herself said that he had gone to another woman.
The next marriage was with a man of the same age as the girl. But he was unsuccessful. The husband is poisoned again. After this incident, there were no more husbands, but Vera enjoyed lovemaking with other men, many of whom were married. Soon, everyone who had intercourse with a woman went missing.
One day, the lover's wife followed her husband. When he disappeared, the woman immediately went to the police with a report on the loss, pointing out Vera as the culprit. The search that began in the killer's house put the police in a stupor - there were about thirty coffins in the basement, where the bodies of the men she had killed were kept.

The sisters managed to earn decent money on such a "business". They were considered the most violent pimps in Mexico.
The entire murder took place two hundred kilometers from Mexico City, where the Gonzalez family ranch was located. Soon this place was named "Hell's Brothel". Girls working for the sisters were found through advertisements in newspapers, where they were looking for work as waitresses and servants. All the abducted were engaged in prostitution. When, for some reason, they could not serve customers, the Gonzalez sisters simply killed them. Prostitutes were kept in inhuman conditions: they lived in a basement and received little food and water. Among other things, women robbed and killed wealthy clients.
