Phoolan Devi always gets her revenge.
When she was eleven, Phoolan had been married off to a man nearly three times her age. He was abusive and she ran away, again and again. She would eventually get her revenge - dragging him out of his home, stabbing him, and leaving him for dead.
When her gang of bandits turned on her, she was abducted. Brought to a village, raped, beaten, humiliated. After escaping, she would get her revenge again. She would lead a new gang, and seek out the very men who degraded her. And when she couldn't find them, she would have 22 young men from that same village killed...

In total, Li Hao managed to kidnap six women. Of those six women, he killed two, burying them in the same dungeon the rest were trapped in...

But he was not humble, he was not religious, he was not kind.
Boonpeng was a gambler, a womanizer, and possibly Thailand's first serial killer (though it was never proven).
