A WOMAN killed her husband and then her lover because they failed to impregnate her, before hiding their bodies in large freezers in the basement of her ice cream parlour.

Estibaliz Carranza is now known as the "ice cream killer" and has been in prison for her grisly crimes since 2012 - she is now being moved to an all-male prison.

Who is Estibaliz Carranza and what did she do?

The Mexican-born Spanish national killed her husband and boyfriend because they did not give her a child.

She shot them with the same gun in 2008 before chopping up the bodies with a chainsaw.

She told neighbours that the noise they could hear in Vienna, Austria, where her ice cream parlour was, was a new kind of ice cream machine.

After cutting up the bodies she stored the various parts in ice cream tubs filled with concrete.

She might have got away with her crimes but workmen renovating her basement a year after the second killing found both men's body parts.

In an incredible twist of fate, the woman who was desperate for a baby found out she was pregnant with a new lover's child the morning she was arrested.

What happened to Estibaliz Carranza?

Carranza was sentenced to life behind bars and gave birth to a son in 2012.

After his birth in the secure mental institution he was taken away to live with his father - who later married Carranza.

She is now studying business during her time in prison.

She has also written a memoir - My Two Lives: The True Story of the Ice Lady - which tells the story of how she killed and hacked up the two men.

All proceeds from the book go to her son.

In an interview in 2014 she said: "My actions have destroyed my life and dreams. I have a son and knowing how much he means to me has shown me how much I took away from two other mothers.

"I would only want one wish - and that would be to change what happened."

Why is Carranza back in the news?

Carranza is considered so dangerous she will serve out her sentence in an all-male prison, it was revealed in January 2017.

She is being moved from her prison in Schwarzau, Austria, to a special centre in Asten near the city of Linz 50 miles away.

The state-of-the-art prison that already contains 91 men – with 13 more female inmates soon set to follow in her footsteps.

Prisoners are allowed free movement within the centre, which boasts single and double rooms and allows inmates to cook their own meals together.
