Nice alliterative title, but that's about it. There isn't much to this true crime documentary.
Jolly Joseph, the murderess, falls into the same category as our own Maria Swanenburg, although this Indian did not kill relatively many victims because it only took place within her own family, as far as is known.
We don't find out much about her. Yes, that she came from a farming family and lied about her profession.
What I'm especially curious about is how she behaved when there was another death. Every now and then a photo comes along showing her embracing a laid-out victim during a funeral and that one woman, a sister-in-law if I remember correctly, also says that she intuitively sensed that her grief was not real and that she she actually seemed happy when someone had died again. Her intuition did lead to the arrest of Jolly Joseph.
But the phenomenon fascinates me, so I thought I would let an expert speak who might be able to say something sensible about it.
It's also bizarre and sick that you can get poison like this if you want to get rid of a stray dog, strange anyway.
