## Summary

A Colombian court hearing in London was told that Zulma Guzman Castro allegedly arranged for poisoned chocolate-covered raspberries to be delivered as a free gift, leading to the deaths of two girls. Guzman, who is fighting extradition to Colombia, is accused of acting out of vengeance after a failed relationship with the father of one of the girls.

The delivery arrived at the family home on 4 April 2025 while a 14-year-old girl and her 13-year-old friend were having a sleepover. They ate eight and about five raspberries respectively; another teenager ate three, and all three suffered acute thallium poisoning. One girl died on 5 April and the other also died, while the third was seriously ill. Prosecutors cited a delivery-app payment, phone-location data and deleted searches about thallium as evidence.
