The Horrifying & Disturbing Historical True Crime Case of Olga Hepnarová | Prague’s Deadliest Woman

Описание: This historical true crime documentary examines the chilling case of Olga Hepnarová, the woman responsible for the Strossmayer Square tragedy in Prague on 10 July 1973. Drawing on court records, contemporary reporting, and later historical analysis, this film traces Hepnarová’s life from her troubled childhood in Czechoslovakia to the calculated act of mass violence that left eight innocent victims dead and shocked an entire nation.

Through a carefully researched, Victorian true crime–style narrative, we explore the psychological background, the planning of the attack, the police investigation, and the dramatic trial that ended with Hepnarová becoming the last woman executed in Czechoslovakia. Set against the backdrop of Cold War Eastern Europe, this historical murder case raises enduring questions about responsibility, mental illness, justice, and remembrance.

Designed for viewers who appreciate serious historical documentaries, this video avoids sensationalism and focuses on facts, context, and legacy—placing the tragedy within a broader tradition of long-form historical and Victorian true crime storytelling.
