Woman Serves Poisoned Chicken Curry To Brother, Friends

A woman, who allegedly wanted to kill her brother by mixing poison in the chicken curry made for him, unexpectedly killed three of his friends as they shared it while consuming liquor in Sivakasi, the police said on Monday.

Police, who launched investigations following reports that four people died after consuming poison-laced liquor, questioned a man, a friend of one of the victims, and found that the brother and three others had consumed curry cooked by the woman and interrogated her.

The woman told police that her intention was only to kill her brother as he had objected to her relationship with a printing press owner, police sources said.

While the brother died after reaching home, the three others died in a nearby garden on Sunday, police said.

The printing press owner has been detained. (PTI)
