December 14, 1865 - George Chapman
Operating in Victorian England under an assumed name, he poisoned three women in succession — wives and companions — using antimony administered gradually over months. The method was intimate and patient, exploiting domestic trust in a way that left few immediate signs. His case attracted enduring speculation from investigators who believed the same man may have been responsible for the Whitechapel murders of 1888, though that connection has never been established.
From Wikipedia
Seweryn Antonowicz Kłosowski (14 December 1865 – 7 April 1903), better known under his pseudonym George Chapman, was a Victorian-era Anglo-Polish serial killer known as the Borough Poisoner.
Born in Congress Poland, Chapman moved to England as an adult, where he committed his crimes. He was convicted and executed after poisoning three women, but is remembered today mostly because some contemporary police officers suspected him of being the notorious serial killer "Jack the Ripper".
