Overview

• São Paulo Civil Police will request judicial authorization and international cooperation to exhume the body of 21-year-old Tunisian Hayder Mhazres for toxicology testing.
• Hayder died in May after falling ill in São Paulo shortly after drinking a milkshake bought by Ana Paula Veloso Fernandes, whose family in Tunisia has become more open to the exhumation.
• Ana Paula has been jailed since July accused of four homicides in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, confessing involvement in the deaths of Marcelo Hari and Neil Corrêa da Silva while denying responsibility for the other two.
• A forensic report confirmed insecticide in a bottle found at the residence where Ana Paula lived in Guarulhos, as results from three recently exhumed bodies have not yet been released.
• Police also hold her twin, Roberta Cristina Veloso Fernandes, and Michelle Paiva da Silva, who is accused of hiring the poisoning of her father for about R$ 4,000, while animal-welfare officials prepare three rescued dogs for adoption after alleged pet poisoning admissions.
