Cyanide Malika

K. D. Kempamma, also known as "Cyanide Mallika," was born in 1964 in Karnataka, India. She was married at a young age and moved to Kerala with her husband, who was a railway employee. In 1999, she began a series of murders by poisoning elderly women with cyanide. She would usually gain the trust of her victims by posing as a government official or a spiritual healer who could help them with their problems. Once she gained their trust, she would offer them a glass of water laced with cyanide

"Cyanide Mallika," was convicted of killing six women between 1999 and 2007. Her victims were all elderly women who trusted her. Here are the details of the women Kempamma killed:

Krishnaveni - Kempamma's first victim, who was poisoned in 1999. Krishnaveni was a 47-year-old woman who worked as a cook in a school. Kempamma convinced her that she was a government official who could help her secure a better job. Krishnaveni was found dead in her house the next day.

Pappammal - A 60-year-old woman who was Kempamma's second victim. Pappammal was a widow who lived alone. Kempamma convinced her that she could help her get a pension from the government. Pappammal was found dead in her house the next day.

Annamma - A 60-year-old woman who was Kempamma's third victim. Annamma was a widow who lived with her daughter. Kempamma convinced her that she could cure her daughter's illness. Annamma was found dead in her house the next day.

Leelavathi - A 62-year-old woman who was Kempamma's fifth victim. Leelavathi was a widow who lived alone. Kempamma convinced her that she could help her get a loan from a bank. Leelavathi's son became suspicious of Kempamma and reported her to the police. Leelavathi was found dead in her house the next day.

Kempamma's husband - Kempamma's sixth and final victim was her own husband, Raju. She poisoned him with cyanide in 2007 in order to steal his gold and other valuables. Raju was found dead in their house the next day.

Over the course of her killing spree, Kempamma poisoned six women, including her own husband. Her motive for the murders was to steal their gold and other valuables. Her last victim was a 62-year-old woman named Leelavathi, whose son became suspicious of Kempamma and reported her to the police.

In 2007, Kempamma was arrested and charged with murder. During the trial, she confessed to the murders and was found guilty. She was sentenced to life imprisonment, which was later confirmed by the Kerala High Court. Kempamma's case gained widespread media attention and she became known as "Cyanide Mallika," due to her use of cyanide as a murder weapon
