Mary Ann Cotton, a Victorian-era Englishwoman, was suspected of murdering at least 21 people, primarily through poisoning. She often used arsenic, disguising her crimes as unfortunate deaths from illness, particularly in her family members and children. Her motives were typically financial, as she collected insurance payouts on the lives of those she killed. Cotton was ultimately arrested, tried, and executed in 1873 for her crimes.
