Number 9 Jenalisha Lawrence
On July the 18th of 2020, a 34-year-old man refused to argue with his estranged girlfriend,
believing that he was avoiding conflict. However, confrontation was the sole purpose of 29-year-old
Jenalisha Lawrence when she showed up at the unnamed victim’s home, in Shreveport, Louisiana.
Facing his complete refusal, the woman pulled out a gun, shot him and fled the scene. Police
patrol officers, who responded to reports of a shooting, found the man lying on the sidewalk,
fighting for his life. He’d suffered a single gunshot wound and was taken to the hospital,
where doctors performed life-saving surgery on him. Lawrence’s criminal actions sparked a police
hunt that lasted several days, but she eventually turned herself in. She’s expected to be charged
with attempted murder in the second-degree. Number 8 Emma-Jayne Magson
A night out in Leicester, England, ended in disaster for 26-year-old Kames Knight. On
March the 27th of 2016, he and his 28-year-old girlfriend, Emma-Jayne Magson, were in a cab,
going home after a night of drinking. They began arguing so intensely, that the driver asked them
to get out of the vehicle. They started walking as they continued to fight and at some point,
Knight pushed Magson into a parked car, making her fall to the ground. The argument continued
after they arrived at Magson’s apartment. At some point during their escalating confrontation,
the woman grabbed a steak knife and stabbed her boyfriend through the chest,
inflicting a wound 4.5 inches-deep. She then waited 45 minutes to call the emergency services.
The neighbors were reportedly awoken by Knight as he was screaming that his heart was bleeding.
When Magson finally called the emergency services, she lied to the dispatcher about
the gravity of her boyfriend’s wounds and didn’t mention that she’d stabbed him.
Knight eventually died and, even though she claimed to have acted in self-defence,
Magson was sentenced to 17 years in prison. Number 7 Cordelia Farrell
“It’s getting worse and worse and one of us is going to end up dead”, 38-year-old Cordelia
Farrell told police officers after being arrested for the assault of her 36-year-old boyfriend,
Wayne Coventry. The British couple had been involved in what their friends and
family described as a toxic relationship. In September of 2019, Farrell attacked her lover,
allegedly dragging him by his testicles and biting his private parts. One month later, Coventry and
Farrell got into an argument at the home of the former’s brother, in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire.
As the fight got heated, Farrell grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed her partner to death,
piercing his chest and puncturing his aorta. The horrific scene happened in front of their friends,
who later said they saw the woman grinning as she was pulling the knife out of the man’s chest.
At first, Farrell fled the scene, but later turned herself in to the authorities. In October of 2020,
she was jailed for 10 years by the Worcester Crown Court for the manslaughter of her boyfriend.
Number 6 Emily Javier
Emily Javier waited until her boyfriend, Alex Lovell, was in bed before attacking him with a
samurai sword, after she’d become suspicious that Lovell was cheating on her. First, she found the
Tinder app installed on his phone. Then, she found strands of red hair in the shower drain at their
home in Washington, U.S.A. The woman reached her boiling point after Lovell came home one evening
and ignored her. She went and taped a samurai sword to the side of their bed and, when they went
to sleep, she hid his phone so that he couldn’t call for help. When the lights went out, Javier
reached for the sword and launched a frenzied attack, leaving Lovell with numerous stabs and
cut wounds. As the man lay curled up in a pool of his own blood, Javier decided to call 911.
Lovell was taken to the hospital where doctors had to reattach some of his fingers and managed to
save his life. Javier pleaded guilty to attempted first-degree domestic violence murder in court
and was sentenced to 19 years in prison. Number 5 Thomasine Bennett
67-year-old Thomasine Bennett was arrested, in February 2017, after beating her boyfriend to
death with a metal bat for 36 hours straight. She and 63-year-old boyfriend, Walter Mack Clark, were
at Bennett’s apartment in Northeast Washington. On February the 17th, officers received complaints
of disturbance from Bennet’s neighbors. They went to investigate and were met by Bennett
who took them to see the unresponsive naked body of her boyfriend, barricaded in a closet,
in a fetal position. She complained that Clark had made her smoke a drug called “love boat”,
a mixture of marijuana and embalming fluid. She then told them that she’d been beating him with
a baseball bat for the past day and a half. Clark was taken to Howard University Hospital,
where he was pronounced dead from multiple blunt force trauma. Bennet was arrested and pled guilty
to voluntary manslaughter, in July of 2017. The woman was sentenced to 10 years in prison by the
Superior Court of the District of Columbia. Number 4 Samantha Adeokun
Just a couple of days before Christmas, on December the 23rd of 2013, 41-year-old
Samantha Adeokun and her musician boyfriend, Peter Davegun, were drinking at the latter’s apartment
in Stoke-On-Trent, Staffordshire, England. An argument erupted between the two and,
in a drunken row, Adeokun began hitting her partner with her fists,
feet and a metal guitar stand, until he became unresponsive. Instead of immediately phoning for
help, Adeokun called her daughter telling her she’d gotten in a fight with Davegun and that,
in self-defence, she’d left him unconscious. The woman’s daughter urged her to call for help
but the woman said she needed to change her clothes first, as they were covered in blood.
She then proceeded to smoke cannabis and, only after 40 minutes, did she finally
call the emergency services. Paramedics arrived at the scene to find that
Davegun had suffered internal bruising and bleeding and alerted the police. At first,
Adeokun claimed she’d merely pushed her partner while trying to defend herself during the fight.
However, post-mortem tests revealed that Davegun had been hit even when he was on the ground,
in a curled-up position. The woman was found guilty of murder and consequently jailed for life.
Number 3 Sarah Boone What a 42-year-old Florida woman first
described as a game of hide-and-seek gone wrong was later revealed to have been a revenge murder.
Sarah Boone and her boyfriend, Jorge Torres, had been drinking at their home in Winter Park, on the
night of February the 24th of 2020. At some point, Torres thought it would be funny to get inside a
suitcase. Boone then zipped him up and left him there for over 11 hours, after allegedly passing
out in her bed for most of the night. The next morning, in her call to 911, the woman claimed
it had been accident. However, investigators found that the man’s eye was bruised and that he
had a cut on his lip. It was later revealed that Boone had recorded her lover throughout the night,
as he was struggling to get out of the suitcase and slowly dying of asphyxiation.
As he was begging to be freed, because he couldn’t breathe, Boone replied that it was how she felt
when Torres would cheat on her. Sarah Boone was arrested on charges of second-degree murder.

Number 2 Jodi Arias
A “fatal attraction” that led to a young man’s bloody death, is how prosecutors framed the murder
of 32-year-old Travis Alexander at the hands of his girlfriend, Jodi Arias. In June of 2008,
Arias stabbed Alexander 27 times, slit his throat and shot him in the head at his home in Mesa,
Arizona. The incident occurred months after they had broken up their relationship,
which was described as unusually tumultuous by their friends. In early 2008, Alexander told
some of his acquaintances that he’d ended things with Arias, after around a year of relationship.
However, it’s believed that they’d continued to see each other, in secret, solely for intercourse.
In April, Alexander changed his travel companion, for an upcoming work trip, from Arias to another
female friend. Shortly after that, on May the 28th, the home of Arias’ grandparents allegedly
got broken into by burglars. At the time, a .25-caliber automatic Colt pistol was stolen.
In early June, after not being able to reach Alexander for several days, a group of his friends
decided to check on him at his home. When they entered the residence, they found large pools of
blood in the hallway and discovered his lifeless body in the master bathroom, with a .25 caliber
round next to him. In the 911 call, Alexander’s friends mentioned Arias as a possible suspect.
The woman was arrested a month later and initially pled not guilty. She admitted to killing Alexander
two years later, claiming it had been in self-defense. However, following several years
of trials and appeals, Arias was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Number 1 Unnamed Moroccan woman After a seven-year relationship
with her boyfriend, a 30-year-old Moroccan woman experienced a “moment of insanity”
when the man told her he was going to marry another woman. In the summer of 2018, the man’s
brother declared him missing after visiting the couple’s home in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates,
to ask his girlfriend about his whereabouts. The woman said she’d kicked him out of their home and
that she didn’t know where he was. About three months later, in November, the brother claimed
to have found a human tooth inside the woman’s blender. DNA tests confirmed the tooth belonged to
the missing man and his lover was arrested. During questioning, she denied any involvement, at first,
but later confessed to the murder claiming she wanted revenge for financially providing for him
during their relationship. After killing him, she cut up his body and asked a friend to help
her dispose of it. She confessed to using a blender to mince her partner’s flesh, cooking
it with Machboos, a traditional dish, and serving it to a group of Pakistani construction workers
from a nearby site. The woman was sent to a hospital to determine if she is suffering
from a mental illness as she’s meant to face trial after the investigation is completed.
