Caroline H.

, once dubbed the 'most dangerous woman in Switzerland,' has had her life sentence reconsidered by the Zurich District Court.

Convicted for the brutal murders of two women in the 1990s, Caroline H.

The court has now decided to convert her sentence into a stationary therapeutic measure, offering her a glimmer of hope for eventual release.
