Homicide investigation: Daughter-in-law arrested after three die after eating poisoned Christmas cake in Brazil

A woman has been arrested in Brazil after three people from the same family died after eating Christmas cake on December 23. Deise Moura stands accused of using arsenic to kill the three women and leave three others sick, including her own mother-in-law Zeli dos Anjos — the woman who baked the cake. The family gathered for holiday celebrations on December 23 when they fell ill after consuming a Brazilian Christmas cake “Bolo de Natal” made by 61-year-old dos Anjos, media reported.

Dos Anjos is still fighting for her life in hospital after eating two slices of the cake..
