The terrible crimes committed by women on death row

They killed neighbours, lovers and strangers, dismembered victims and buried them alive. The women on death row are just as brutal as men

They killed neighbours, children, lovers and strangers, they dismembered victims and buried people alive.

The 51 women on death row across America are just as brutal as the males who outnumber them awaiting execution in the death penalty states across America.

In the last decade, five women have been executed and putting females to death by lethal injection or electric chair always generates more publicity than for the men.

Since the beginning of last century, just 54 women have been executed in the US.

But only eight states — Texas, Georgia, Florida, Oklahoma, Alabama, North Carolina, Arkansas and Virginia — have executed female prisoners in the past three decades.

The last two American women to be put to death were Kelly Renee Gissendaner in Georgia in 2015 and Lisa Ann Coleman in Texas the year before.

Gissendaner was put to death by lethal injection, the first woman executed in Georgia since 1945, for murdering her 30-year-old husband when she was just 28.

In 1997, she convinced another man to force Douglas Gissendaner into a car at knifepoint, drive him to the woods and stab him to death, whereafter Kelly hid his body.

She became a Christian in prison and launched multiple appeals but was finally executed as she prayed and sang Amazing Grace.
