A New Year's Day meal turned into a harrowing tragedy in Brazil after rat poison was discovered in the food, leading to the deaths of three family members: one-year-old Igno Davi da Silva, his 18-year-old uncle Manoel, and three-year-old sister Lauane. The devastating incident has prompted authorities to launch a murder investigation.
Manoel was the first to die, succumbing in an ambulance en route to the hospital after eating a fish dinner on 1 January. Igno tragically passed away on Thursday, and just days later, Lauane died in the early hours of 6 January, according to local media reports. Their grieving mother, Francisca Maria, and a surviving four-year-old sibling remain hospitalised in Parnaíba, located in Brazil's northeastern state of Piauí.
