Arsenic Poisoning Suspect Found Dead in Brazilian Jail Cell**

Deise Moura dos Anjos, accused of poisoning her family's Christmas cake, is discovered in her prison cell in an apparent suicide following serious allegations of murder.**


A Brazilian woman, Deise Moura dos Anjos, facing charges for allegedly poisoning three relatives with arsenic in a Christmas cake, has been found dead in her jail cell. Authorities suspect suicide, while investigations continue into the murder case.**


In a shocking development, Deise Moura dos Anjos, a 42-year-old Brazilian woman accused of poisoning her husband's family with a Christmas cake laced with arsenic, has been found dead in her jail cell. The police suspect that her death was most likely a suicide. Moura dos Anjos had been held in pre-trial detention since January, facing accusations of killing three relatives and attempting to murder three others on Christmas Eve.

According to investigators, all victims had consumed the cake, which was later confirmed to contain flour tainted with the lethal poison. Authorities have also opened an inquiry into the suspicious death of her father-in-law, who passed away in September. After exhuming his remains, forensic experts discovered high levels of arsenic, leading them to believe he may also have been poisoned.

Despite her denials of any involvement, police chief Cléber dos Santos Lima expressed confidence that Moura dos Anjos had purchased and utilized the poison, citing evidence that she had acquired arsenic on four separate occasions. A thorough investigation revealed harmful arsenic levels in food items from Moura dos Anjos's mother-in-law, Zeli dos Anjos, the baker of the poisoned cake. Zeli, who also consumed the cake, did not face charges as she survived the incident.

Tragically, two of her sisters and one niece succumbed to the poisoning, while her 10-year-old grandson and a sister's husband were among the survivors who recovered. The investigation continues to unravel the details of this disturbing case as authorities look into the circumstances surrounding the suspected murders.
