She is accused of using a poisoned Christmas cake to kill three relatives, and police chiefs say they are treating the death as a suicide. 

Her mother-in-law Zeli dos Anjos had baked the cake, which was consumed by multiple relatives late on December 23 and later discovered to be tainted with flour laced with arsenic.

At the time, Police Chief Marcos Veloso told RBS TV that the victims, including Zeli, took multiple bites and discovered that it had a "spicy" flavor. 

Despite being admitted to the hospital, Zeli, 61, lived. Within hours of consuming the cake, her sister Maida Bernice Flores da Silva, 58, her sister Neuza Denize Silva Dos Anjos, 65, and her daughter Tatiana Silvia Dos Santos, 43, all passed away.

Maida's husband Jefferson needed hospital treatment also. Despite Deise's protests of innocence, she was arrested and labeled a "serial killer" by the authorities.
