A woman in Poland has been sentenced to six years in prison for a calculated poisoning plot against her colleague. The convict, identified as Małgorzata W, was captured on video spraying a toxic substance into her co-worker’s tea. This act was part of a sustained poisoning campaign that unfolded over several weeks.
The victim, a 51-year-old co-worker, began to suspect foul play when her drinks started changing color and taste. After consuming the contaminated tea, she experienced severe stomach pain, breathing difficulties, throat burning, and fainting episodes. Medical experts confirmed that she suffered serious internal chemical burns from ingesting cleaning agents.
Realizing she was being targeted, the victim installed a hidden camera in the workplace kitchen, capturing the perpetrator contaminating drinks. The poisoning campaign lasted six weeks, with laboratory tests confirming the presence of dangerous chemicals in the drinks. Tensions between the two women had been escalating due to work performance issues.
Another woman, Elzbieta D, was accused of being complicit in the plot but was acquitted due to lack of evidence. Małgorzata was found guilty of attempting to cause serious bodily harm, with judges highlighting the deliberate and prolonged nature of her actions. The court emphasized that the victim’s life was put at significant risk by the poisoner’s actions.
