They are indeed rare. (Trigger warning for some of you: Non-graphic discussion of child murder hidden below)

Summary

I have only read about a few around the world. Women are more likely to murder their children and partners separately and for very different motives, whereas men are more likely to be family annihilators. There are many reasons why women might murder their children, from postpartum psychosis, maltreatment, or spousal revenge. When it comes to spouses, though, we get into black widow territory (women who murder multiple husbands for money/material gain). Otherwise, it’s self-defense or revenge.

I think I can only point you to one case, it’s recent and in the US-however it is better described as a mass killing because the woman’s husband was at work and wasn’t killed.

Which case is that? I think I know which one you’re referencing. Lindsay Clancy?

I’m constantly looking up how long wine is good for because there’s no full consensus on ancient wines. Most wines are safer at 30 years old.

Looking up fauna found in the Navarre region, surprising to find there’s bears there (though since its near the Pyrenees, maybe not so?)

I think there’s a rice wine in I want to say China that’s supposed to be like over 100 years old regularly, like that’s what it’s known for.
