Australian Woman Charged with Poisoning Colleague's Curry with Snail Pellets

A 32-year-old Australian woman has been charged with administering poison with intent to endanger life, following an incident where a colleague's curry was allegedly contaminated with snail bait.

The alleged victim, a 30-year-old man who was reportedly in a relationship with the accused, discovered bright green pellets in his food. This discovery prompted him to contact emergency services.

Forensic analysis of the curry confirmed the presence of metaldehyde, a chemical commonly used in molluscicides. The man did not consume the contaminated food and did not require medical treatment.

The incident occurred in South Australia, with the woman later released on bail. She is scheduled to appear in court next month. The specific motivations behind the alleged poisoning have not been publicly disclosed by authorities.
