Biography

Queen Anula of Anuradhapura was an ancient aristocrat, queen consort and one of the oldest serial killers in history who ruled Sri Lanka from 47 BC to 42 BC.She was the chief queen of Chora Naga (63-51 BC) and was known as an evil woman who was cruel enough to kill almost all her partners. First she poisoned King Chora Naga as she wanted her lover Siva, a doorman, to become the king, yet it was a prince called Tissa who rose to power in the end. Anula kill Tissa and so that Siva might become king and whose queen would be. As Tissa’s queen she took a Tamil paramour named Watuka. Just fourteen months after he took the throne. After the elapse of just a year and two months, King Siva was too poisoned by Queen Anula. Watuka then became king. Anula repeated her formula and after Watuka’s death her paramour Darakatiya was enthroned, assuming the royal name of Tissa. Again Anula moved on. Her new lover, a Brahmin adviser called Neeliya came to replace the poisoned Darakatiya Tissa. After poisoning Neeliya, Queen Anula ruled as sole monarch, but only for a mere four months.
