Wikipedia description:
Mary Blandy (c. 1720 – 6 April 1752) was an eighteenth century British murderer. In 1751, she poisoned her father, Francis Blandy, with arsenic. She claimed that she thought the arsenic was a love potion that would make her father approve of her relationship with William Henry Cranstoun, an army officer and son of a Scottish nobleman.
