Due To Self-Defense, Mercy Or Rage, Here Are 10 Times Women Brutally Slayed Famous Men

5. Henrik Kauffmann

Henrik Kauffmann, one of Denmark most famous diplomats, suffered from prostate cancer towards the end of his life. He had been married to his American wife Charlotte for 36 years before a nurse found both their bodies together in 1963. Charlotte had left behind letters addressing family and friends before she and her husband were both found lifeless. After writing the letters, Charlotte took a bread knife and slit his throat and then took her own life with the same knife. Police described Henrik’s passing as “mercy k***ing,” carried out to save him from the sufferings of cancer. “She k***ed him to stop his suffering,” a police spokesperson said at the time.
