The Village of Assassins

The Village of Assassins - Serial Killer Saturdays
News of the Times Episode 53 | 1840
It is 1929 in a small village in Hungary – a village which over several years is going against the growth rate taking place in the surrounding villages.  What is odder still, the incredible death rate seems to be striking the predominantly middle to older male population.
The village statistics in terms of percentage of land holding women is also strangely higher than the average.
What unfolds is a web of treachery and murder involving a group of women with one deadly female as the mastermind supplying the poison and teaching the others how to use the poison to avoid detection.  As officials come to grips with the murder spree happening in their village, what emerges is a village filled with serial killers – in effect, a village of assassins.
We take a look at the background, the crimes and the stories of the murders in the Hungarian village of assassins in today’s episode of Serial Killer Saturdays.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
