The 'Ice Cream Killer': The woman deemed so dangerous, she's moving to a men's jail.

A Spanish murderer known as the ‘Ice Cream Killer’ has been moved to an all-male prison because she was deemed too dangerous to be at the women’s facility.

The The Mirror reports that Estibaliz Carranza, 38, who was living in Austria at the time of her crimes will be transferred to an all-male prison in the country.

The murders the 38-year-old has been convicted of sound like something out of a horror movie – she killed two men, dismembered them with a chainsaw and stored them in the freezers inside her ice cream shop in Vienna.

Carranza, whose full name is Goidsargi Estibaliz Carranza Zabala, was sentenced to life in prison in 2012 for the murders of her ex-husband and a lover, committed on separate occasions.

Both men were shot in the head with the same gun before the Mexican-born Spanish national butchered them.

Carranza murdered her ex-husband Holger Holz in 2008, confessing she was furious with him for not leaving their home after the divorce.

Two years later she shot her boyfriend Manfred Hinterberger when she went to confront him about an affair she suspected he was having, but he was passed out drunk. A moment she describes in her memoir, My Two Lives: The True Story of the Ice Lady.

She hid the bodies in ice cream tubs filled with concrete in freezers of her ice cream parlour, which were only discovered by plumbers working in her basement in June 2011.

Carranza reportedly found out she was two months pregnant to a new boyfriend on the morning she was arrested.  She's since had her child and married the father while in prison.

Since 2012 she's been incarcerated at a women’s prison in Schwarzenau, but will now be moved to a "special" all-male penitentiary in Asten, The Mirror reports.

She will be the first female prisoner to join the 91 other inmates in the facility, but another 13 women are set to join her.

The facility is reportedly staffed by four doctors, eight prison guards, 18 therapists and 45 nurses, while prisoners are free to roam the grounds and can cook meals together.
