About Celestina Sommer
- Celestina Sommer (1 July 1827 – 11 April 1859) was a Victorian murderer, notorious as much for her escape from the death penalty as for the murder of her only daughter.
- Known as the "Islington Murderess", she became an international cause célèbre: examined in the world's press, both houses of the British Parliament, even Queen Victoria's inner circle.
- Her case, recently rediscovered, reignited the fierce debates on crime and insanity, capital punishment and crime and gender.
