Australian Woman Charged with Poisoning Colleague's Curry with Snail Pellets
An Australian woman has been charged with poisoning a colleague's curry with toxic snail pellets containing metaldehyde at a workplace in Perth, Western Australia. The 58-year-old victim shared the curry during a morning tea break, but later found bright green granules in the leftovers and experienced tongue numbness after tasting it.
