Catherine Flannagan (1829 – 3 March 1884) and Margaret Higgins (1843 – 3 March 1884) were Irish sisters who were convicted of poisoning and murdering one person in Liverpool and suspected of more deaths. The women collected a burial society payout a type of life insurance on each death and it was eventually found that they had been committing murders using arsenic to obtain the insurance money.
