Summary
This episode details a criminal investigation into a lethal poisoning during a Brazilian family's holiday celebration. After three relatives died from eating a traditional Christmas cake, authorities discovered that the flour used was contaminated with lethal levels of arsenic. Police arrested a daughter-in-law with a history of family disputes, who had reportedly researched the toxic substance online prior to the incident. Forensic experts explain that the chemical was so concentrated it caused rapid heart failure and gastrointestinal distress in the victims. The investigation has since expanded to include the suspicious death of another family member who passed away months earlier under similar circumstances.
