I had fun with her hair... Though the arms are a little awkward but I like her expression...

Dagmar Overbye... Danish... killed between nine and twenty-five children... she was only convicted for nine though.

This picture reminds me of Mrs. Lovett from Sweeney Todd... Ah well.

I feel like I should have added more to the background but a simple background is fine by me.

"Dagmar Johanne Amalie Overbye (April 23, 1887 – May 6, 1929) was a Danish serial killer. She murdered between 9 and 25 children – of which one was her own – during a seven-year period from 1913 to 1920. On March 3, 1921, she was sentenced to death in one of the most talked about trials in Danish history, that changed legislation on childcare. The sentence was later commuted to life in prison.

Overbye was working as a professional child caretaker, caring for babies born outside of marriage, murdering her own charges. She strangled them, drowned them or burned them to death in her masonry heater. The corpses were either cremated, buried or hidden in the loft.

Overbye was convicted of nine murders, as there were no proof of the others. Her lawyer based the case on Overbye being abused herself as a baby, but that didn't impress the judge.

She died in prison on May 6, 1929. She was 42."
