There are origins of that kind of story in Greek/Roman mythology.
See: Medea
Medea was a 'sorceress' or 'witch'. She helped Jason (the Argonaut) with her magic win the Golden Fleece. She married Jason but he left her for another woman. She went crazy and killed the woman and in some versions, her own children by Jason.
Procne
Procne's sister was raped by her husband who cut her tongue out and hid her away so she couldn't tell anyone. When Procne found out, she and her sister got pretty pissed and killed her children and fed them to the husband.

"She saw a flaring halo around his head, radiant in gold and blue. It shouted of glory and power to come"
"No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it."
