Do you know any other murder songs? (It could be a theme for a festival..original or/and cover )

...When I did an instrumental cover with the Dobro  of "Banks of Ohio "
https://songcrafters.org/forum/index.php?topic=31010.0

I didn't know it was a murder ballad
...And many like me were surprised that such a beautiful music is a murder song

Searching a bit on YT I found this other murder song "Long Black Veil" sung by ...Mick Jagger (yes, yes) and the Chieftains, amazing no?

I prefer this version by The Band and the original by Lefty Frizzell. Also covered by our own Bluesberry for the Woodstock Fest in 2009.

Hmmm what about a murder fest where you get extra points if it involves the word "mother-in-law"?

Don't know any murder ballads, but this is a pretty good suicide ballad, based on an old English folk legend (Kitty Jay of Dartmoor) by a superb British band (Wishbone Ash):
