What would be a happy day for Lindaci Viegas Batista de Carvalho, 54, ended in tragedy, as the woman died after eating some poisoned chocolates she received as a birthday present. Her husband’s ex, identified as Susane Martins da Silva, was arrested as the main suspect
The events were recorded in a hairdresser’s, located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where Lindaci worked and on her birthday she received some chocolates, which she was unaware were poisoned.
The woman was excited to receive a birthday present. Since the chocolates did not have any notes, Viegas Batista de Carvalho thought that her husband had sent them, so when she was in doubt, she decided to call him.
The husband said yes, he gave them as a joke
He replied that he had sent them, although he later admitted that it was in a joking tone.
Given that response, the 54-year-old woman began to eat and enjoy the chocolates with confidence, but later felt unwell.
His eyes began to roll back and his arms twitched, the woman’s sister told the Daily Mirror site.
Emergency services were called, who took Lindaci in an ambulance, but on arrival at hospital she was pronounced dead.
Husband’s ex arrested as suspect
Lindaci’s sister told authorities that the victim had received death threats on social media from Susane Martins, the ex of the deceased’s husband.
“He received messages saying that he wanted his head, that he would drown on his own blood,” Lindaci’s sister said.
The police arrested Susane Martins da Silva, who began to cry and fell into contradictions during her statement, according to the court report.
