Real life tales of couples who both shared a blood lust for murder. James Marlow and Cynthia Coffman were a troubled couple who were convicted of murdering five people during a deadly rampage that spanned multiple states. Meanwhile, Fred and Rosemary West created their own "house of horrors" as they abducted and tortured people throughout Great Britain.

Couples Who Kill

Donald Leroy Evans was an American serial killer who allegedly killed over 15 people between 1970 and 1991 but confessed to over 60 murderers-mostly women-at rest stops and parks throughout 20 U. S. states. He was arrested after leading police to the body of a homeless ten-year-old girl, Beatrice Routh, who he had kidnapped in Mississippi, taken to Louisiana where he raped and strangled her to death, and then dumped her body in a shallow grave back in Mississippi. Evans pled guilty to the offense and then to an additional 60 murders (some reports state that the number was 72); however, authorities could not find any evidence corroborating his claims and, later, Evans admitted it was a hoax.

James Marlow and Cynthia Coffman were a troubled couple who were convicted of murdering five people during a deadly rampage that spanned multiple states. The last two victims, 20-year old Corrina Novis and 19-year old Lynell Murray were kidnapped and found strangled and sodomized, and the murderous pair were found guilty of the crimes. Whereas both Marlow and Coffman received the death penalty for Novis' death, Marlow received a second death sentence for Murray's while Coffman was sentence to life without the possibility of parole in Murray's murder. Both defendants sought to shift the onus of blame to the other with Marlow claiming it was Coffman's idea to kill the girls while he only wanted to rob them and Coffman alleging that she was the victim of battered women's syndrome. Neither ploy was successful as the pair were convicted across the board for robbery, kidnapping, sodomy, and murder. Coffman has the distinction of being the first woman sentenced to death in California following the state's reinstatement of the death penalty in 1977.

Killer Couple

Kenneth Allen McDuff, also known as the "Broomstick Killer" because of the way he murdered one of his first victims: 16-year-old Edna Louise Sullivan who he killed in August 1966 along with her boyfriend and his cousin. After being sentenced to death, the United States Supreme Court, in 1972, determined that the death penalty was unconstitutional and, as a result, McDuff's death sentence was commuted to life in prison. He was eventually paroled and killed at least five more women before being rearrested, tried, and given the death penalty again.twice. McDuff was executed on 17 November 1998 and has the distinction of providing the impetus for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice-the third largest system in the United States-to overhaul its entire system, particularly the parole eligibility and revocation processes. In total, McDuff is suspected of 14 murders and has the distinction of being the only person in United States history to be sentenced to death for murder, paroled, and then sentenced to death for two additional murders committed after he was released.

Au bout du monde

"She mates. She kills. She eats." Katherine Mary Knight was born to shed blood. Born October 24th, 1955, she has the distinction of being the first Australian woman to be sentenced to life without the possibility of parole when she murdered her de facto husband John Charles Thomas Price, born 6 January 1955, in Aberdeen, New South Wales, Australia. The murder itself is not necessarily the stuff of horror films or nightmares with extreme heinousness even though Knight did, in fact, stab Price 37 times. Knight's subsequent defilement of Price's body following the murder was extremely atrocious and, as such, was the fundamental reason she received a life without parole sentence. So heinous, in fact that her file is marked "never to be released."
