FULL TEXT: Twelve women were arrested in Zenta, Hungary, charged with poisoning their husbands.
The
wholesale plot was discovered by a man who suspected that his wife was trying
to kill him. Believing she had placed poison in his soup, he compelled his wife
to drink it, and she died.
This
started an investigation, and the police found an old woman named Sivacky, who
confessed that she had sold poison to several women. She gave the names of a
number, who are charged with killing their husbands to marry other men.
The
authorities have ordered that the bodies of several men believed to have been
poisoned by their wives be exhumed and examined.
Nine
husbands are now critically ill from the effects of poison.
