They took lives, they showed no remorse, they are murderers. When women kill, they do it very differently than men. And they do it for other reasons.
In EXPRESS crime experts explain what drove women to extremes. What they had to be black widows, death, angels and Kindsmörderinnen.
In addition, we show five sensational Fälle.Frauen and men are different - even killing. This is the realization of the Düsseldorf detective chief commissioner and author Stephen Harbort. He wrote the book "When Women Commit Murder."

Men kill because they do not want to accept the end of a relationship. Women want to break with the killing of the intimate partner from the relationship. "
Even criminal psychologist Rudolf Egg is emphatic that "murderers will see her act often as a last resort. Homicides are committed by women are often out of helplessness and powerlessness - it is the partner in infanticide or murder. Significantly less likely to kill out of greed. "
But to kill women more insidious. "If they kill a man, they need simply because of physical inferiority to plan their actions to the smallest detail," says Egg.
"Men choke or cut access to tools such as firearms or knives. Women choose softer methods, "says author Stephen Harbort. "Often, poison or suffocate their victims."
More frequently they resort to poison. "Killing women choose methods to conceal not only the perpetrator but the deed itself."
The reason: They kill in the immediate area, would apply immediately as suspects. That is why they want to make the crime look like an accident or natural death.
The classic killer does not exist, they come from all social strata. However, Stephan Harbort presented at the offenders, who spoke with whom he finds two things in common: "They were all very narcissistic and suffered from feelings of inferiority. And outwardly they were rather plain. "
Often, the killer just the "gray mouse" from next door - as well as the ARD series "When Women Commit Murder" from Monday, 21 clock shows
