Lisa Petru-Triku, Black Widow Serial Killer – Romania, 1899

 

SEE: Georg Korin’s Murder Syndicate – Jebel, Timis county (Temesvar), Romania, 1899

***

The report is ambiguous. It implies Lisa Petru-Triku murdered the first three of her four husbands.

***

EXCERPT (translated from German): Mrs. Lisa Petru-Triku, 46 years old, is a female bluebeard; she is now married for the fourth time. Her current husband is called Jossim Loikicza, who was co-accused but had to be released due to lack of evidence. He already had a love affair with the woman during Triku's lifetime and married her immediately after Triku was dead. Even after five years, the chemist found 3 milligrams of arsenic in the remains of the Triku.
