Serial killer victory

Sobbing that ‘‘there’s no sense in keeping me alive’’, one of the first known female serial killers in the United States won a court victory in Florida in her bid to sack her lawyers and hasten her execution.

‘‘I am a serial killer. I would kill again,’’ 45-year-old Aileen Wuornos, facing six death sentences for killing middle-aged men while working as a prostitute, said on the witness stand in Daytona Beach.
