But, questions have arisen regarding the death of the first Mrs Kittel who has been found to have been poisoned.
This interesting case has the second Mrs Kittel being placed on trial for the murder of the first Mrs Kittel.  A classic did she or didn’t she murder mystery is today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.
