[Mary Ann Cotton (1832 - 1873), sometimes described as Britain's first serial killer, is believed to have used arsenic to poison at least 21 people including her mother, three husbands, ten of her own children, five stepchildren, a lover and a friend. A resident of County Durham and an ex-nurse, she was able to continue killing for many years because the arsenic gave symptoms of gastroenteritis, a not uncommon cause of death at that time. Following a three day trial at Durham Crown Court, she was executed in Durham Jail on the 24th March, 1873]
