Deise Moura, accused of poisoning her family with a Christmas cake, claims innocence and demands answers in the ongoing investigation
Torres: So, there’s this wild story coming out of Brazil. A woman named Deise Moura is in hot water for allegedly poisoning her family with a Christmas cake. Crazy, right?
She’s 42 and is said to have killed three relatives, including her mother-in-law and two others, with a cake that was supposedly laced with arsenic. They all had a slice just days before Christmas.
Now, Deise is sitting in custody, but she’s not keeping quiet. Her lawyer read a statement where she insists she didn’t do anything wrong. She’s asking a lot of questions about the whole situation.
Deise wants to know how the poison got into the cake and why it was in her mother-in-law’s house in the first place. She’s saying there’s no solid proof linking her to the crime.
It turns out the arsenic levels found were super high, way beyond what could happen naturally. That’s got the police looking into a family feud that’s been brewing for 20 years, which might explain some motives.
Sadly, three family members died after eating the cake, and a young boy who also had some ended up in intensive care. It’s a tragic situation all around.
The regional security minister even mentioned they have strong evidence pointing to Deise as the one behind this. But, of course, they’re keeping some details under wraps for now.
