| 17 Year Old Girl Claims To Have Knifed 30 Men To Death |
| 2009-08-18 |
| A GYMSLIP murderess aged just 17 was being held last night for knifing THIRTY men to death. The schoolgirl stunned cops by owning up to a serial killing spree that started when she was a 15-year-old. She told detectives she wanted to confess before she turned 18 and could be tried as an adult. The girl - too young even to be named - said she began targeting men in her home city of Sao Paulo, Brazil "for money, revenge and to bring justice". She even SMILED as she reeled off her list of victims - which is feared to make her the world's most prolific teenage serial killer. She calmly bragged to police: "I don't have enough courage to hold a gun - but I can hold a knife. "I am confessing because I promised I would do so before becoming 18 - to avoid upsetting my family." The schoolgirl told how she always used the same knife - butchering one man for throwing a glass of brandy in her face in a bar row. But police were last night still unclear about what drove her to keep on killing. Sources said one theory is she was hired by gangland bosses as an assassin because she was so innocent-looking. The teenager's sensational confession came after she was arrested over a Sao Paulo street fight. |

| #7 Let this horrific murderer's actions dispel the myth of 'female virtue.' In fact according to When She Was Bad: How and Why Women Get Away With Murder. the author points out that while people in general tend to view women as non-aggressive, in fact, "women commit the majority of child homicides in the United States, a greater share of physical child abuse, an equal rate of sibling violence and assaults on the elderly, about a quarter of child sexual abuse, an overwhelming share of the killing of newborns, and a fair preponderance of spousal assaults." www.trutv.com.

| #6 Because a schoolgirl who would actually be able to do this sort of thing would really be as disquieting as any other sociopath of any other age or gender. |

| #4 It's all so sordid and debasing; why is it this whole killerz schoolgirls trope is so much more glamour when it's in a manga or an anime? Reality is not what it's cracked up to be. I want a refund. |

| #2 Try her as an adult. She clearly knew the ramifications of what she was doing. |

| #1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gymslip A gymslip is a sleeveless tunic with a pleated skirt most commonly seen as part of a girl's school uniform. The term gymslip primarily refers to athletic wear; otherwise the term pinafore dress (British English) or jumper dress (American English) is usually preferred. |
