Catherine Wilson (1822 - 20 October 1862) was a British woman who was hanged for one murder, but was generally thought at the time to have committed six others. She worked as a nurse and poisoned her victims after encouraging them to leave her money in their wills. She was described privately by the sentencing judge as "the greatest criminal that ever lived."...
...Wilson worked as a nurse first in Spalding, Lincolnshire, and then moving to Kirkby, Cumbria.
...In 1862 Wilson worked as a live-in nurse...The drink she had given to Carnell turned out to contain sulphuric acid - enough to kill 50 people...."
