What are men's methods of committing murder?

Answer 1

There certainly are countless ways to commit murder, but many times it is true that men murder differently than women. Yet there are also exceptions to all the rules. Men can murder by poison, knife, gun, manual strangulation, or even a 'staged accident'.

One midwestern husband killed several wives by plying them with alcohol and pushing their heads under water in the family hot tub. After the third wife, family members alerted police and he was finally caught. Another got rid of two wives by pushing them over a cliff while on a nature hike.

It is safe to say that the possiblities are only as limited as the killer's minds and imaginations make it. As for serial killers, men are more likely to use a gun, manual strangulation or knife. Women serial killers, many times, are poisoners. But of course, there are always exceptions. Convicted killer Aileen Wurnous killed at least seven men by shooting them, usually in the back, with a 22 caliber handgun. Wurnous died by lethal injection in Florida, 2003.

Dr. Thomas Neill Cream, a Scotish-born serial killer from the mid-19th century, used poison on his victims. Lizzie Borden, in a very un-ladylike blitz, hacked to death her stepmother and father on a hot August morning in 1892 in Fall River MA. She was aquitted by a jury of her peers, which in 1892 were all men, due to the fact that men in that time could not imagine a woman being so violent. So we know that when it comes to murder, there are no hard and fast rules.
