Brazil Woman Arrested in Christmas Cake Poisoning

In Brazil, Deise Moura dos Anjos has been arrested on charges of triple homicide after a Christmas cake she allegedly poisoned resulted in the deaths of three family members and illness in three others. The victims, who consumed the cake at a family gathering on December 23, experienced severe symptoms before dying, with subsequent tests revealing high levels of arsenic in their bodies. Police are investigating whether the arsenic was intentionally mixed into the cake flour, with evidence suggesting a long-standing family dispute involving Moura. Zeli dos Anjos, the cake's preparer and Moura's mother-in-law, remains hospitalized in stable condition. The case has drawn significant media attention as authorities continue to unravel the details surrounding the incident, including past family tensions. The investigation also includes plans to exhume the body of Zeli's late husband, who reportedly died under similar circumstances.
