The sleepy Hungarian village of Nagyrev near here does not at first glance seem to be the kind of place where wives could have poisoned husbands. Old women in 'otthonkas' - the flowery all-in-one uniform of elderly women across Hungary - water their plants, farmers tend their crops and time passes in a languorous, pastoral haze.
But these elderly villagers nurse dark memories of the time when the women of the village embarked on a killing spree that saw scores of abusive husbands poisoned to death under the supervision of the local midwife.
