Witch bitch
Marti Enriqueta was a self-styled witch who kidnapped, sexually abused, and ritualistically butchered small children in Barcelona, Spain. She cannibalized her victims, then boiled the leftovers as an ingredient in the "love potions" that she sold to locals. She was executed in 1912 after a young girl escaped from her lair and alerted her family.
