Amy Papp, Serial Killer – Hungary, 1931

Related to: Viktoria Harna, Professional Serial Killer – Hungary, 1930

***

FULL TEXT (Translated from Hungarian): Budapest, 4. February. – A new poison-murder trial began today in the Street Court in Kalocsa, the accused, 50-year-old farm-woman Papp, of having poisoned three people with arsenic.

In recent years, poisoning had become fashionable in Fajsz, just as it was in Theisswinskel. The poison mixer Viktoria Harna committed suicide after the discovery of the mass murders, so that only the twelve peasant women could be arrested who murdered their next of kin based on her advice and with the help of the poison she produced.

The first of the Fajsz peasant women, Anny Papp, murdered her first husband in 1921, her foster parent in 1926, and her foster mother in 1927, with arsenic.

In this year's trial, the prosecution denied the three business murders; the witnesses, however, maintain that they stood up for their loved ones’ love affairs. Mrs. Papp had changed her lovers like articles of clothing; she had a different lover every month.

The defendant's second husband, whom she married after her first husband had married, also testified against his wife in an incriminating manner.

The testimony will continue tomorrow.

In der Osrtschaft Fajsz waren in den letzten Jahren Giftmorde ebenso wie im Theißwinskel Mode geworden. Die Giftmischerin Viktoria Harna hat Entdeckung der Massenmorde Selbstzmord begangen, so daß nur die zwolf Bäuerinnen verhafter werden konnten die aus ihr Anraten und mit Hilfe des von ihr hergestellten Giftes ihre nächsten Angehörigen ermordet haben.

Die erste der Fajzer  Bäuerinnen, Anny Papp, hatte im Jahre 1921 ihren ersten Mann, im Jahre 1926 lhren Pflegevoter und imJahre1927 ihre Pflegemutter mit Arsen aus Welt geschafft.

In der heurtigen Verhandlung lieugnete die Angeklagie die drei Gäftmorde; die Zeugen aber bleiben dabei, daß sie ihre Angehorigen Liebesaffären Wege standen. Die Papp habe ihre Liebhaber gewechselt wie Keizungestücke; sie habe jeden Monat einen anderen Geliebten gehabt.

Auch der zweite Mann der Angeklagten, den sie nach der Ermoroung ihres ersten Gatten geheirtat hatte, sagte belastend gegen seine Frau aus.

Die Verhandlung wird morgen fortgesetzt.
