Brazilian Woman Arrested in Family Poisoning Case

Deise Moura, a 42-year-old accountant, was arrested on suspicion of three murders and three attempted murders after family members fell violently ill during a Christmas celebration. The investigation revealed high levels of arsenic in a Christmas cake served at the event, which is believed to be the murder weapon. Forensic tests confirmed that Moura's father-in-law, Paolo Luiz, who died in September under suspicious circumstances, also had arsenic in his body. The investigation is focused on a long-standing feud between Moura and her in-laws, with police stating that evidence suggests she will likely spend her life in prison. Those she is accused of killing include her mother-in-law's two sisters and a niece, while her mother-in-law narrowly escaped death. The case has drawn international attention, reminiscent of a mystery novel with its shocking twists and family drama.
