Um, judging by the information on the page Locusta would appear to have been a contract-hitwoman, working for the government, not a serial killer.
- I probably should have made it clear that she also poisoned others in her spare time. --Auric 17:12, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
This article is in slight conflict with the article concerning Claudius. In said article, cause of death and those responsible are not certain, while this states solidly.
"The general consensus of ancient historians is that Claudius was murdered by poison — possibly contained in mushrooms — and died in the early hours of October 13, 54. Accounts vary greatly. Some claim Claudius was in Rome[29] while others claim he was in Sinuessa.[30] Some implicate either Halotus, his taster, Xenophon, his doctor, or the infamous poisoner Locusta as the administrator of the fatal substance.[31]"
