'Louisa Collins was an Australian poisoner and convicted murderer. Collins, who was dubbed as the "Borgia of Botany" by the press of the day, endured four trials in front of 48 men, after the first three juries failed to convict. Collins was hanged at Darlinghurst Gaol on the morning of January 8, 1889.' (Source : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisa_Collins )
