US EditionWoman pulled from Thames had ‘poisoned two girls’ in Colombia
Zulma Guzman Castro was rescued from the River Thames after fleeing Colombia where two girls died from thallium poisoning in an alleged revenge plot, authorities said.
- On Tuesday morning, Zulma Guzman Castro, Colombian businesswoman, was rescued from the River Thames near Battersea Bridge alive but injured during an intense operation.
- Two teenagers, Ines de Bedout, 14, and Emilia Forero, 13, fell ill after eating raspberries on April 3 and died four days later, prosecutors call it an `act of vengeance`.
- Forensic experts found thallium injected into the fruit, hospitalising another teenage girl and the brother of one victim, with the girl sustaining life-changing injuries seven months ago.
- Interpol issued a Red Notice earlier this month and Colombian authorities requested Castro's capture, while Westminster Magistrates' Court issued a warrant earlier this week for her extradition hearing.
- Castro continues to deny the accusations and told reporters she was visiting her son, while prosecutors allege Castro used a courier to deliver the poisoned dessert as an `act of vengeance`, and Pedro Forero, father of Emilia Forero, has publicly mourned the victims.
