Every Serial Killer Has A Reason

Baba Anujka, named Ana Draxin, was born in Romania sometime in 1837 as the daughter of a cattle dealer, but since childhood, her family had lived in Petrovasâla, in the Serbian Banat. At the age of 20, she contracted syphilis from an Austrian soldier, leading her to live in solitary confinement for some time where she studied traditional medicine. At the insistence of her father, she married a 20-year-old landowner, with whom she gave birth to 11 children (10 of whom did not live to adulthood). After her husband’s death, she set up a laboratory and began preparing her potions.

Grandma Anujka’s best-known cure was a combination of arsenic, mercury, and ethnobotanical seeds, which she said solved all the client’s worries — material or marital. She always asked her patients how serious the problem that needed to be solved was: by this she referred to the weight of the one to be assassinated so that the witch could adjust the dose of the ingredients.
