Karla Faye Tucker

It is generally accepted these days that people get their sexual kicks in many different ways. It is unfortunate however, when the only way these thrills can be obtained is by swinging a pickaxe into the bodies of other human beings. Such was the case with Houston prostitute Karla Faye Tucker who killed two people and achieved multiple orgasms into the bargain on the night of 13 June 1983. Sentenced to death, Karla Faye spent the next fourteen and a half years on Texas' death row. It only took three months of incarceration however, for her to find God and make a remarkable transformation from drug crazed teenager to committed Christian. The process was complete when in 1995 she married a prison minister. She never got the chance to prove herself as a vicar's wife however – facilities for cake making and home visits to parishioners are rare on death row – and on 3 February 1998 she was injected with a lethal combination of drugs to help her on her way home to heaven.
