Number 8 Grissel Gonzaga On December the 7th of 2019, Grissel
Gonzaga ordered a ride-share vehicle to get from California to Nevada and visit her ex-girlfriend,
Alexa Incandella. Gonzaga had told her, a day before, that she was planning a surprise, but
Incandella told her she wasn´t welcome. When the former arrived, she found that the door was
locked. Determined to enter, Gonzaga broke into the house through a sliding glass door in the back
and went upstairs, to Incandella´s bedroom. She and her new love interest, Travis Smith,
were lying in bed when Gonzaga entered the room. Enraged at the sight of her ex-girlfriend and her
new boyfriend, Gonzaga began attacking her. Smith tried to intervene, but Gonzaga grabbed a pair of
tweezers, stabbing him and Incandella with them. The attack continued until Smith was able to drag
her outside, but Gonzaga then managed to break into the house a second time and continued her
onslaught. She choked Smith unconscious and stomped on his forehead hard enough to leave
a footprint and cause head trauma. The woman eventually left the house, after destroying
numerous belongings of her ex-girlfriend´s. Incandella called 911 and responding officers
found Smith suffering from head injuries and puncture wounds. Incandella had also
suffered lacerations in the attack. Shortly after, Gonzaga was found in close proximity
to her ex-girlfriend´s house and was arrested. While Incandella was treated at the scene, Smith
subsequently died at the hospital. In March of 2021, Grissel Gonzaga was found guilty on charges
of voluntary manslaughter and battery with the use of a deadly weapon leading to substantial bodily
hurt and sentenced to 3 to 10 years in prison. Number 7 Marissa DeVault
In January of 2009, Marissa DeVault took out a $500,000 life insurance policy on her husband,
Dale Harell. She was determined to pay her debt to ex-lover Allen Flores, a man she’d met in 2007
through an online sugar daddy website. DeVault and Flores engaged in an extramarital relationship, at
first, but by the time their affair ended, she had accumulated a $362,000 debt to him. The man made
her sign a promissory note, in 2007, saying that she would return the money by December the 31st
of 2009. With the due date approaching, DeVault allegedly kept telling Flores a false story
about coming into a large inheritance. The man became suspicious and reportedly began
documenting her claims, fearing she would harm him to get rid of the debt. He also documented
his ex-girlfriend sending him the insurance and telling him she planned to have her husband
killed. On January the 14th of 2009, as DeVault´s husband was sleeping in the bedroom of their home
in Maricopa County, Arizona, she entered the room holding a claw hammer. She walked
up to the bed and began striking Harell in the head with it, causing critical injuries to his
skull. He was taken to the hospital and the woman initially told the police he’d been attacked by an
unknown intruder. However, she later changed her story and confessed to beating Harell,
claiming her husband had been abusing her and that she’d acted in self-defense. She was arrested on
the same night of the attack on charges of aggravated assault, but was later released
on bail. On February the 9th of 2009, Harell died and DeVault was charged with first-degree
murder. Police then searched Flores´ home and found illegal adult films on his computer,
along with relevant evidence to prosecute DeVault. The ex-boyfriend was given limited
immunity in exchange for his testimony, which would aid in her conviction. On April the 30th
of 2014, the woman was found guilty of killing her husband to collect his life insurance policy
and sentenced to life in prison. Number 6 Melanie Eam
In the early morning hours of November the 17th of 2016, James Barry, a man in his early 20s,
was found fatally wounded on his bed at his parents’ home in Loxahatchee, Florida. His
mother’s boyfriend, Guy Hand, was awoken to the sound of Barry screaming and rushed in to see what
was happening only to find him lying in a pool of his own blood. He had been stabbed repeatedly and
the attacker had already fled the scene. Hand attempted CPR and called for help but, in spite
of his efforts, Barry died before paramedics arrived. Within the course of three days,
the police arrested the victim’s 20-year-old ex-girlfriend, Melanie Eam. Investigators learned
that Barry had recently broken up with Eam through a text message, after a relationship that had
lasted for roughly 2 years. Shortly after being taken into custody, Eam confessed to a detective
she’d stabbed Barry with a butter knife in a fit of rage, angered by his decision to end the
relationship via text. When asked how many times she’d struck her ex-boyfriend with the knife, she
replied by saying “I don’t know, it’s not like I counted”. Even though the confession was recorded,
Eam pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder during the trial. Moreover,
her defense lawyers casted suspicion on Guy Hand, the boyfriend of Barry’s mother,
because he’d moved the murder weapon. They managed to create reasonable doubt in the minds of jurors,
claiming Eam had gotten into an argument with Hand and that Barry stepped in between them,
accidentally getting stabbed by Hand in the process. However, Eam was retried in January
2019 and found guilty of her ex-boyfriend’s murder. She was sentenced to 50 years in prison.
Number 5 Cristina D’Avila Rodrigues On March the 5th of 2021,
Cristina D´Avila Rodrigues, aged 24, went to visit her ex-boyfriend, 29-year-old businessman
Paulo Roberto Moraes Teixeira Junior, at his home in Manaus, Brazil. Although they were
not in a relationship anymore, Rodrigues was still employed at Moraes´ Internet installation company,
where they’d initially met. She’d been asking her former partner to pay for her breast augmentation
surgery, but he had told her the company had to cut costs due to economic strife brought about by
the pandemic. They were having an argument about the subject at Moraes´ house when things became
heated and Rodrigues shot her ex-boyfriend in the back of the head with a .380 caliber handgun. She
then walked out, called her mother and confessed the crime. Rodrigues´ mother then spoke with
Moraes’ brother to let him know about the incident and they left together for his house. They arrived
to find Moraes in critical condition in the kitchen. He was rushed to the hospital where
he passed away after two days. On March the 8th of 2021, a warrant was issued for Rodrigues´ arrest
and she surrendered to the authorities. She admitted to shooting her former partner, but
claimed she had no intention of killing him. She told investigators Moraes had two firearms, one in
the house and the other in his car. Rodrigues reported she’d taken the one in the house,
in case she needed to defend herself, and shot him by accident. However,
the victim´s siblings think the woman had planned everything. Her trial is ongoing.
Number 4 Alverna Cher Sheue On May the 16th of 2020, 32-year-old
Wee Jun Xiang was at a multi-story car park in Bedok, Singapore, where he abruptly suffered a
heart attack leading to his death. Later in the day, Singapore police were alerted to a case of
unnatural death and, after doing follow up investigations for over six months,
they arrested 38-year-old Alverna Cher Sheue Pin, Xiang’s ex-girlfriend, in relation to
the incident. They suspected the woman, who is the director of City Funeral Singapore
and a single mother of two girls, had committed an unspecified act that resulted
in her ex-boyfriend’s death. She was arrested and held on remand for further investigations.
On December the 3rd of 2020, Sheue Pin was charged with one count of culpable homicide
not constituting murder. According to the charge sheet, the woman had caused the death of Xiang
but court documents didn’t disclose any further details about how she could’ve provoked his death.
The information was withheld by the authorities so that others wouldn’t copy her modus operandi. It
became a subject of debate and speculation online with one theory entertaining the possibility of
formaldehyde poisoning, given her access to it as a funeral director. If proven guilty,
Alverna Cher Shueue Pin faces either life sentence or a fine and a 20-year-long prison sentence.
Number 3 Aniyah Thomas and Leniquea Byrd On September the 1st of 2020, Nitekka Lennear,
aged 27, and her girlfriend traveled to Lennear´s ex-girlfriend’s home in Cocoa,
Florida, to confront her about a social media post. As she was exiting her vehicle and entering
the apartment complex where 21-year-old Aniyah Thomas lived, Lennear went live on social media
to stream the ensuing confrontation. She found her ex-girlfriend with her new partner,
19-year-old Leniquea Byrd, and the encounter quickly became heated. Thomas told Byrd to
shoot Lennear and, soon enough, gunfire erupted. Nitekka Lennear was reportedly shot nine times
as she was streaming live on social media. Multiple people in the area who’d heard the
gunshots called 911 and police arrived at the scene, where they found Lennear unresponsive.
They attempted to render aid until paramedics arrived and she was later pronounced dead at
the hospital. Thomas and Byrd were arrested that day, after officers held multiple witness
interviews and reviewed the video evidence. The two are facing charges of second-degree murder.

Number 2 Shayna Hubers On October the 12th of 2012, at around 9 pm,
21-year-old Shayna Hubers called 911 to tell the dispatcher that she had shot her former boyfriend,
Ryan Poston, aged 29, and that he’d stopped breathing. They had dated for about a year and had
an on-again-off-again relationship. According to Poston´s family, at the time Hubers had shot him,
he was trying to break up with her. He’d allegedly scheduled a date with former Miss Ohio, Audrey
Bolte, which enraged his ex-girlfriend. Hubers was at Poston´s home in Fort Thomas, Kentucky, when
she made the 911 call. Officers arriving at the scene discovered that he had six gunshot wounds,
in his forehead, back and torso. Although she was read her rights, instead of remaining silent,
Hubers immediately told officers she’d acted in self-defense, after her boyfriend had allegedly
pushed her against furniture in the house. The woman was taken into custody and left
alone in the interrogation room, where CCTV recorded her acting bizarre, pacing around,
dancing, snapping her fingers, singing “Amazing Grace” and chanting ´I killed him, I killed him.”
A cellmate of Hubers´ later revealed that she’d cackled upon commenting on the shooting of her
ex-boyfriend, claiming to have given him “the nose job he always wanted”. In April of 2015,
Shayna Hubers was found guilty of first-degree murder and in August she was sentenced to 40
years in prison. As one of the jurors who’d convicted her was revealed to be a felon,
she was granted a new trial. Hubers was also found guilty during her retrial and she was sentenced to
life in prison in October 2018, with prosecutors saying she’d shown no remorse for her crime.
Number 1 Rachael Hilyard Following the break up with her former partner,
38-year-old Rachael Hilyard insisted that the man´s mother, 63-year-old Micki Davis,
come by her house in Wichita, Kansas, to get her sons´ belongings. On April the 8th of 2017,
Davis took her 9-year-old grandson along and headed towards Hilyard´s house. When she arrived,
Hilyard began assaulting her right in front of the child, who was terrified and immediately fled the
scene. However, despite being in shock, the boy managed to grab a phone from his grandmother´s
car and call 911. Responding police officers found the minor nearly half a mile away from Hilyard´s
house and asked for his help in leading them back to the scene. After ringing the door and receiving
no answer, the authorities checked the garage and discovered Davis´ decapitated body. Looking
further, they noticed the victim´s head abandoned in the kitchen sink. After raiding the premises,
officers also found Hilyard hiding inside the house and took her into custody without incident.
More evidence emerged in the aftermath which revealed that the woman had been making bizarre
social media posts in the days prior to the attack, writing poems about serial murder and
beheadings. During interrogations, Hilyard told investigators that, before the brutal attack on
Davis, she had called a pastor to perform an exorcism in order to clean her home of evil
spirits. A cleric later confirmed the encounter. Hilyard also revealed in an interview that she had
been in a car accident in 2003 which left her with a brain injury but insisted that it had nothing to
do with the killing. Despite her claims of being possessed and not in control of her actions,
prosecutors said the woman had premeditated the murder and the subsequent dismemberment. After
the minor had left, she grabbed a kitchen knife to behead her ex-boyfriend´s mother. At some point,
the blade broke, so Hilyard grabbed a second knife to finish what she’d started. In November 2020,
she was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison.
