Evil Tanya Lambe.
One of Ireland's most notorious female killers has been found dead, the Irish Sun can reveal.

Evil Tanya Lambe, 40, was jailed for eight years in 2005 for beating innocent man Anthony Jordan to death with a hockey stick in 2003.

We can also reveal how Lambe was branded as "highly dangerous" at the time of her death.

And the killer, who had 62 previous convictions, was also linked to five other brutal assaults during her life of crime but never charged.

A source said: "Lambe was without question one of Ireland's most dangerous women. She was vicious and it's a miracle she didn't claim further lives.

"She didn't care who she targeted and every time she went out she was armed.

"She spent her life committing horrible acts of violence against innocent people."

Her most recent conviction was in 2012 when she received a four-year sentence for slashing a stranger's neck in a case of mistaken identity outside the Central Bank in Dublin city centre.

On that occasion, she left her victim James Kelly with permanent scarring after using a broken beer bottle in the unprovoked attack.

She was jailed after pleading guilty to assault causing harm.

She comes from a good family, who have been left shocked by her death.
