Teen killed by poisoned cupcake sent by classmate who claimed it was from a 'secret admirer'
A teenager in Brazil allegedly killed her friend by sending her an arsenic-laced cupcake - and claiming it was from a secret admirer in a bid to 'scare' her. The 'jealous' perpetrator also sent two notes - purportedly written by the mystery paramour - praising the 'most beautiful' 17-year-old unnamed victim. She then watched silently as her classmate Ana Neves fell ill and was rushed to hospital where she died, according to the victim's father, Silvio das Neves. 'After my daughter died, she still greeted me and hugged me,' the grief-stricken father claimed. The two separate notes read: 'A treat for the most beautiful girl I've ever seen' and 'A gift for the sweetest girl with the most incredible personality I know.' In an attempt to trace the mystery benefactor, a curious Neves had sent an audio message to a group chat asking who among her pals in Itapecerica - about 310 miles north of Sao Paulo - had sent the treat and the notes. But there was no response, according to Brazilian news outlet G1. The victim fell sick around an hour after eating the cake at 6pm on Saturday but was initially discharged from hospital that night. Neves returned home for a sleepover with the suspect, not knowing she had tried to kill her. Her condition took a turn for the worse on Sunday when she became ill and fell in her bathroom. Neves' father told reporters that she was dead by the time she had arrived at the hospital, where doctors failed to revive her from a cardiac arrest. 'This girl went to sleep at my house and was there for the whole thing,' Neves said after his daughter's burial service. 'She saw [Ana] feeling sick, she saw when I took her to the hospital and, the next day, she also saw my daughter falling in the bathroom and she didn't show any reaction.' Sao Paulo Civil Police investigators analyzed surveillance cameras near Ana Neves' home and were able to identify the license plate number of the motorcycle courier who delivered the poisoned cupcake. The deliveryman was able to share the address to the suspect's home. The suspect was accompanied by her mother to the Itapecerica Police Station, where she initially denied involvement. She later admitted buying arsenic online for about $11.50 (65 Brazilian reals) and purchasing the cupcake at a bakery near her home. While at home, she added the toxic chemical on the cupcake and then requested the courier service, paying around 88 cents (5 reals) for the delivery. The teen also admitted to poisoning another classmate, 17-year-old Kamilly da Silva, on May 15 because she just wanted to frighten her. She said she targeted da Silva because she had not gotten over her breakup with her two previous boyfriends, according to a statement that was obtained by CNN Brasil. She told investigators she 'did not intend for any greater harm to happen' to both of the victims and that she just wanted both girls to 'experience bad symptoms, such as vomiting.' Da Silva made a full recovery, but never filed a police report. Silvio das Neves could not understand why his daughter's classmate wanted to cause harm. 'My daughter didn't deserve this,' he said. 'She was a good person. She had no vices, she didn't mess with anyone. She was a hard worker.'

Cupcake poisoning twist as 'jealous' mean girl confesses to killing best friend with treats 'from an admirer'
A teenage mean girl watched her friend eat a poisoned cupcake she laced with arsenic before having a birthday sleepover, the victim's grieving father revealed. The 17-year-old frenemie, whose named has not been released, confessed to Brazilian authorities that she targeted her classmate Ana Neves out of 'jealousy' in an attempt to 'scare' her. Neves, who had just turned 17 last week, fell sick and fell to the bathroom floor and yet her so-called friend watched silently as the girl was rushed to hospital, according to father Silvio das Neves. 'After my daughter died, she still greeted me and hugged me,' Neves said. The alleged teen killer had sent two notes with the cupcake purporting to be from a secret admirer on Saturday. After finding the deadly care package, a curious Neves sent an audio message to her friends' group chat on WhatsApp asking who sent the cupcake and with the touching message that read, 'A treat for the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.' 'I don't know if it was a friend of mine. Hey, I'm going to read the card to you. Man, I want to know who it was, I'm angry,' Neves said in the audio message that was obtained by Brazilian news outlet G1. 'A gift for the sweetest girl with the most incredible personality I know'. There are a bunch of stickers and on the back there is a post-it that says, 'Lulu is beautiful'. Guys, I swear to God, I want to thank whoever gave me this',' she added. None of her friends responded and she fell ill after eating the cake moments later. The tragedy occurred in the city of Itapecerica - about 310 miles north of São Paulo. She fell sick around an hour after eating the cake at 6pm on Saturday but was initially discharged from hospital that night. Neves returned home for a sleepover with the suspect, not knowing that she had tried to kill her. Her condition took a turn for the worse on Sunday when she became ill and fell in her bathroom. Neves' father told reporters that she was dead by the time she had arrived at the hospital, where doctors failed to revive her from a cardiac arrest. 'This girl went to sleep at my house and was there for the whole thing,' Neves said after his daughter's burial service. 'She saw [Ana] feeling sick, she saw when I took her to the hospital and, the next day, she also saw my daughter falling in the bathroom and she didn't show any reaction.' São Paulo Civil Police investigators analyzed surveillance cameras near Ana Neves' home and were able to identify the license plate number of the motorcycle courier who delivered the poisoned cupcake. The deliveryman was able to share the address to the suspect's home. The suspect was accompanied by her mother to the Itapecerica Police Station, where she was grilled and denied her involvement. She came clean after several hours of dodging questions and said she purchased the arsenic online for about $11.50 (65 Brazilian reals) and bought the cupcake at Menina Trufa, a bakery near her home. While at home, she added the toxic chemical on the cupcake and then requested the courier service, paying around 88 cents (5 reals) for the delivery. The teen also admitted to poisoning another classmate, 17-year-old Kamilly da Silva, on May 15 because she just wanted to frighten her.
