Paolo Luiz was a 68-year-old man who passed away last September. It was a tragic loss for his family, who were still mourning his death when another shocking incident occurred. His two sisters-in-law and a niece also passed away after consuming a Christmas cake that was laced with a deadly poison, arsenic. This news made headlines all over the world, and the investigation into this suspected triple murder was in full swing.
It was discovered that Paolo had also consumed a lethal dose of arsenic, which led to his death months before the suspected murders. His wife, Zeli Dos Anjos, who had also fallen ill after eating contaminated bananas, was the sole survivor of the fatal meal. As part of the investigation, Paolo's body was exhumed for forensic testing, which revealed traces of arsenic in his system.
Last week, the case took a shocking turn when Deise Moura, the daughter-in-law of Zeli, was arrested in connection with the three suspected murders and three attempted murders. The Christmas cake, which was the deadly dessert, contained 350 times the lethal amount of arsenic. This toxic metal was also found in the blood and urine of the victims. It was also discovered in Paolo's body, further fueling the suspicion of foul play.
Deise's relationship with Zeli has come under scrutiny as the investigation continues. Family members have claimed that the two had a falling out years ago, and Deise had even called Zeli a 'cobra,' meaning snake. However, Deise maintains her innocence and is shocked at being named a suspect in the poisonings.
In a statement released through her lawyers, Deise questioned the evidence against her and the lack of explanation regarding how the poison ended up in Zeli's house. It was also revealed that Deise had searched for arsenic and similar words on her phone, which raised further suspicion. The use of poison in a crime can result in a longer prison sentence in Brazil, adding up to 30 years.
As the investigation continues, Deise is set to appear in court for a custody hearing on January 13th. The truth behind this tragic incident is slowly unraveling, and the family of the victims is seeking justice for their loved ones.
