Black widow-like female killer allegedly “cast a spell” on her victims before violently stabbing them in the heart and ditching their bodies in remote locations around Cambridgeshire. The woman admitted to stabbing three men to death and then randomly assaulting two more on the street, all in a short period of ten days.

Joanna Dennehy confessed to her horrible actions, and her incredibly intimidating nature got her the nickname of the “man woman.” She told judges how she lured the first three men to their death and then threw their bodies in ditches, and how, after that, she just picked two more random victims on the street, who luckily survived the attack.

According to the statement, the female serial killer did not act alone, she had two male accomplices, who helped her cover up the terrible murders. The prosecutor on the case, Peter Wright QC accused the two men of “falling under Dennehy's spell” and helping satisfy her horrifying urge to kill.

However, her accomplices were not the only ones falling under the “man woman's spell” as during trial it was stated that her victims were also drawn by her, making them an easy prey.

The victims were lured into the trap, killed, hidden and then dumped in ditches around town. One body was allegedly kept in a wheelie for days until the murderess woman got the chance to dispose of it.

After the first three male victims, Joanna and one of her accomplices drove to Hereford and just randomly selected two male passersby and repeatedly stabbed them in the street.

As if killing three people was not enough, “they committed further acts of serious violence against two entire strangers who just happened to come across their path,” Mr. Wright says, according to Daily Mail.

The murderess woman and her accomplices are facing severe sentences after their doings outraged locals and horrified court members. The case is still going on, and it is expected to last up to four more weeks.
