Woman arrested for sending poisoned Easter eggs to ex’s family in alleged ‘revenge’ plot, killing 1 child

In Brazil, a 35-year-old woman, Jordélia Pereira Barbosa, is accused of sending poisoned chocolate Easter eggs to her ex-boyfriend’s new partner, resulting in the death of a 7-year-old boy and leaving two others critically ill. Barbosa allegedly bought the eggs in disguise, spiked them, and left a note with the gift for Mirian Lira, the recipient. The boy, Luis Silva, fell sick and died after consuming the chocolates, while Lira and another child remain in critical condition. Barbosa was arrested after authorities found evidence linking her to the crime, including receipts and suspicious items in her possession. The incident is believed to be driven by revenge and jealousy.
