Right. As for the Rose Tree, the stepmother does the usual of killing her own stepdaughter out of vain, but then proceeds to bake the body into a pie and feed it to the father. The Juniper Tree's version esssentially does the same thing, but tricks her own daughter into thinking that she was the murderer.

If anything, the Rose Tree and the witch may be a little under it to count, but I consider the Juniper Tree's portrayal to be a bit more heinous than the typical "I want to kill you because you're pretty/have money/whatever."
