Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned — a vengeful 25-year-old in Indonesia recently tried to kill her ex-boyfriend by sending poisoned food to him.
While the cyanide-laced satay never reached him, the delivery man took the food home and shared it with his family on April 25.
His 10-year-old son died from poisoning after consuming the satay.
The woman, identified as Nani Aprilliani, was arrested on April 30 for premeditated murder, Yogyakarta police said at a press conference on Monday (May 3).
"Her motive was heartbreak because the target married someone else, not her," said the police chief.
Nani was found to have purchased potassium cyanide, meant for use in rat poison, three months prior to the incident from an e-commerce platform.
On April 25, she bought a packet of chicken satay and sprinkled some cyanide into the accompanying sauce.
The young woman then approached a delivery man named Bandiman and asked him to deliver the food to her ex-boyfriend Tomy, instructing him to tell the recipient that the satay was from a man named Hamid.
As Tomy was out of town, his wife answered the door and refused to accept the delivery as she didn't know anyone named Hamid.
Hence, Bandiman took the food home to break fast with his family.
His wife and son dipped the satay into the sauce and both vomited moments after eating the tainted food.
Speaking with local news outlet Tribun Joga, Bandiman recalled his son saying there was a bitter taste in his mouth. The boy went to the kitchen to fetch some water to drink but collapsed on the way there.
Foaming at the mouth, he was rushed to the hospital but died during treatment.
Nani will be charged with premeditated murder. If convicted, she will face the death penalty or life imprisonment.
The police are also on the hunt for an accomplice who allegedly encouraged her to carry out the act of revenge.
Investigations are still ongoing.
Intent follow the path of the bullet. At least in U.S. law.
hope they execute women murderers there
Got a feeling she would be labeled a victim here in the US.
Just a hunch, but he may have chosen not to marry her because he thought she was crazy.
Bad dates.

Thou shalt not steal.
I’ll have prepar’d him A chalice for the nonce, whereon but sipping, If he by chance escape your venom’d stuck, Our purpose may hold there
Yes, but I don’t think there is a death penalty for that. Maybe Saudi Arabia.
What you did there, I see it.
Can’t tell if there’s any remorse in that face. Either way, not taking her home to meet the folks was the best decision he made.
According to the article, there was not any stealing involved.
The food.
Some fool stole the food!!
After being refused, it’s not typically regarded as ‘stealing’.
The pellet with the poison’s in the vessel with the pestle; the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true!
