accepted the death of the consumer approvingly
." Affected were an Edeka in Neuhausen and a Rewe in Feldmoching.
A total of three customers drank from the bottles there and later had to go to the clinic with poisoning.

Trial in Munich: This is the confused world of the poisoner
Carola F. is silent about the deeds, her lawyers Christian Gerber and Birgit Schwerdt only say: "The trial will show what our client is actually responsible for."
She has been treated in psychiatry since June 2020 and yesterday described her confused world: Voices would have ordered her to go on a trip to Asia and India, where she hiked through the mountains for two weeks - "I almost died in the wilderness." The voices were "threatening, I was afraid of them, they were so gleeful".
In 1998, Carola F. was diagnosed with schizophrenia.
The process is now up to mid-December for their permanent placement.
