Sach and Walters, better known as the Finchley Baby Farmers, also began their horrible operation in hopes of wealth.
Sach owned two lying-in homes in London around 1900. One day, she started advertising that babies could be left and cared for—for a fee.
The clients were mostly servant girls who couldn't keep both their children and their jobs.
Parents were charged both for lying-in and for the adoption to a total amount of £25 to £30.
After a baby was born, Walters would poison it with chlorodyne. They were caught after Walters raised the suspicion of her landlord. A total number of victims could not be determined.
Sach and Walters were tried and sentenced to death by hanging in 1903.
