Woman Arrested for Sending Poisoned Easter Eggs to Ex’s Family in Alleged ‘Revenge’ Plot, Killing 1 Child

A jealous ex allegedly sent poisoned chocolate Easter eggs to the home of her love rival, killing a 7-year-old boy and leaving two people in critical condition in Brazil.

Jordélia Pereira Barbosa, 35, allegedly purchased the chocolate eggs in a disguise at a supermarket and spiked them herself before they were delivered to the home of her ex-boyfriend’s new partner, 32-year-old Mirian Lira, according to reports.

Barbosa left a note with the gift that read, “With love, to Mirian Lira. Happy Easter,” the Daily Mail reported.

Lira received the gift and shared the eggs with her children, 7-year-old Luis Silva and 13-year-old Evelyn Fernanda, last Wednesday.

Little Luis fell ill “immediately” after eating the chocolates and died at a nearby hospital the following day. Evelyn and Lira are still in critical condition at the same hospital, according to The Standard.
