Afghan woman charged as serial killer
2005-03-29
Afghani authorities are seeking the death penalty against a woman charged with killing at least 27 men, the Telegraph said Tuesday. Shirin Gul admitted to the slayings after the bodies of 18 men, mostly taxi drivers who were allegedly drugged and killed so their vehicles could be sold near the Pakistan border, were found buried at her Jalalabad residence, officials said.
"They find a measly 18 bodies buried in the flower bed and all of a sudden you're being called a seriel killer. There ain't no justice in the world fur a woman trying to raise a family!"
Six others, including her teenage son, also have been charged in the deaths.
"He's a good boy, always listened to his Ma."
One of the bodies was that of her husband, whom authorities believe was killed when Gul and one of the couple's gang members became lovers.
It's got everything, dead bodies, bloodthirsty female killer, missing taxis, hot henchman lust! Quick, call my agent!
Detectives have been pursuing the case since last June when a wealthy businessman disappeared in Kabul.
Yeah, nobody misses a dozen taxi drivers, but when a rich guy disappears, the cops put down their doughnuts
Gen. Mohammed Zahir Nahem, senior investigator for Afghanistan's National Security Directorate, said he was seeking the death penalty against Gul.
Ma Gul, you've come a long way baby!

#2  Angela Landsbury?

Maybe it should be "Sweeny Todd", that is if there are any "Meat Pies" involved...
