Woman in India admits poisoning six family members with cyanide

Murders took place over 14-year period and each victim ate a meal prepared by the killer

A woman in the southern Indian state of Kerala has confessed to poisoning six members of her family over a 14-year period by adding cyanide to their food.

Police began investigating earlier this year when the brother-in-law of 47-year-old suspect Jolly Thomas became suspicious that she may have forged his parents’ will.

Authorities discovered that Thomas had been at the scene of all six deaths, and that each death had occurred after eating a meal she had prepared. Up to that point the deaths had not been treated as suspicious because of the timeframe.

Thomas, a popular member of the community in Kozhikode, was allegedly motivated by wanting control of the family finances and property, police said.

According to police, the first poisoning was of Thomas’s mother-in-law, who died in 2002 after eating mutton soup. In 2008, her-father-in-law died, followed by her husband in 2011, who police said died after eating rice and curry. An autopsy conducted on his body at the time confirmed poisonous substances in his stomach, but police treated his death as suicide.

Thomas’s husband’s uncle was then allegedly given coffee laced with cyanide as punishment for insisting that a postmortem be carried out on his nephew.

In 2014, police said Thomas killed the two-year-old daughter of her dead husband’s cousin, Scaria Shaju. The cousin’s wife was then killed in 2016. A year later Thomas and Shaju married.

Shaju told police he had no idea that Thomas was behind his wife and daughter’s death, but he has been arrested along with a third person.

On Friday, police exhumed remains from the local cemetery and said that they confirmed cyanide poisoning in each of the deaths. On Monday, they said Thomas confessed to all the murders.

HOME

They rose up like men. We saw them. Like men they stood.

We shouldn’t have been anywhere near that place. Like most farmland outside Lotus, Georgia, this here one had plenty scary warning signs. The threats hung from wire mesh fences with wooden stakes every fifty or so feet. But when we saw a crawl space that some animal had dug—a coyote maybe, or a coon dog—we couldn’t resist. Just kids we were. The grass was shoulder high for her and waist high for me so, looking out for snakes, we crawled through it on our bellies. The reward was worth the harm grass juice and clouds of gnats did to our eyes, because there right in front of us, about fifty yards off, they stood like men. Their raised hooves crashing and striking, their manes tossing back from wild white eyes. They bit each other like dogs but when they stood, reared up on their hind legs, their forelegs around the withers of the other, we held our breath in wonder. One was rust-colored, the other deep black, both sunny with sweat. The neighs were not as frightening as the silence following a kick of hind legs into the lifted lips of the opponent. Nearby, colts and mares, indifferent, nibbled grass or looked away. Then it stopped. The rust-colored one dropped his head and pawed the ground while the winner loped off in an arc, nudging the mares before him.

As we elbowed back through the grass looking for the dug-out place, avoiding the line of parked trucks beyond, we lost our way. Although it took forever to re-sight the fence, neither of us panicked until we heard voices, urgent but low. I grabbed her arm and put a finger to my lips. Never lifting our heads, just peeping through the grass, we saw them pull a body from a wheelbarrow and throw it into a hole already waiting. One foot stuck up over the edge and quivered, as though it could get out, as though with a little effort it could break through the dirt being shoveled in. We could not see the faces of the men doing the burying, only their trousers; but we saw the edge of a spade drive the jerking foot down to join the rest of itself. When she saw that black foot with its creamy pink and mud-streaked sole being whacked into the grave, her whole body began to shake. I hugged her shoulders tight and tried to pull her trembling into my own bones because, as a brother four years older, I thought I could handle it. The men were long gone and the moon was a cantaloupe by the time we felt safe enough to disturb even one blade of grass and move on our stomachs, searching for the scooped-out part under the fence. When we got home we expected to be whipped or at least scolded for staying out so late, but the grown-ups did not notice us. Some disturbance had their attention.

Since you’re set on telling my story, whatever you think and whatever you write down, know this: I really forgot about the burial. I only remembered the horses. They were so beautiful. So brutal. And they stood like men.

A

The kids crept through the grass, simply not paying attention to anything else.

B

The kids were no taller than the grass, so they decided to move horizontally.

C

The grass was very short and they had to find a way not to be bitten by the snakes.

D

The grass helped the kids hide, so they remained there quietly waiting for help.

E

The kids cut the grass before they started crawling.

MACKENZIE 2019 - Literatura - Realismo, Escolas Literárias

Considere as seguintes observações sobre a vida e a obra de Machado de Assis.

I. Machado de Assis teve uma origem humilde: foi neto de escravos alforriados e filho de Francisco José de Assis, um pintor de paredes, e de Maria Leopoldina Machado de Assis, portuguesa açoriana que se dedicava a serviços domésticos. Mediante uma carreira dedicada às letras, ao jornalismo e ao funcionalismo público, Machado de Assis viveu ao longo do tempo uma trajetória de ascensão social.
II. Durante décadas de dedicação à vida literária, uma importante faceta de Machado de Assis foi a composição de crônicas, publicadas em jornais e revistas brasileiros. Nas suas crônicas, Machado escrevia sobre uma gama de temas, da vida cotidiana a fatos políticos da sua época.
III. Em 1897 realizou-se a sessão inaugural, no Rio de Janeiro, da Academia Brasileira de Letras, que teve como seu primeiro presidente Machado de Assis.

Assinale a alternativa correta.

O trecho abaixo é um fragmento do capítulo de abertura do romance Memórias póstumas de Brás Cubas, de Machado de Assis.

A

Apenas a afirmação I está correta.

B

Apenas a afirmação II está correta.

C

Apenas a afirmação III está correta.

D

Todas as afirmações estão corretas.

E

Nenhuma das afirmações está correta.

MACKENZIE 2019 - Literatura - Naturalismo, Realismo, Escolas Literárias, Romantismo

Assinale a alternativa correta.

O trecho abaixo é um fragmento do capítulo de abertura do romance Memórias póstumas de Brás Cubas, de Machado de Assis.

A

A publicação do romance Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas, em 1881, é considerada de maneira unânime pela crítica especializada como o marco inicial do Naturalismo na literatura brasileira.

B

Iracema, de José de Alencar, A moreninha, de Joaquim Manuel de Macedo, e Navio Negreiro, de Castro Alves, compartilham com Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas a mesma filiação literária.

C

Ao idealizar a realidade, o Realismo pouco se interessou pelos contextos econômicos dos seus personagens. Da mesma maneira, os escritores realistas deixaram de lado a reflexão sobre as relações entre as classes sociais.

D

Ao debater, no trecho que serve de base para essa questão, sobre as relações entre a vida e a morte, o narrador de Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas flerta com o cientificismo de sua época, muito bem representado em um romance como O cortiço, de Aluísio Azevedo.

E

A presença de elementos fantásticos em Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas, a começar pela condição peculiar do seu narrador, nos impede de filiar o romance como um puro representante da estética realista.

Assinale a alternativa correta.

O trecho abaixo é um fragmento do capítulo de abertura do romance Memórias póstumas de Brás Cubas, de Machado de Assis.

A

Ao afirmar que eu não sou propriamente um autor defunto, mas um defunto autor (linhas 05-06), o narrador do romance incorre em um jogo retórico, pois o personagem Brás Cubas está somente “morto” em termos metafóricos.

B

Em Algum tempo hesitei se devia abrir estas memórias pelo princípio ou pelo fim, isto é, se poria em primeiro lugar o meu nascimento ou a minha morte (linhas 01-03), identifica-se a marca de construção de uma linguagem metalinguística e autorreflexiva.

C

Em Bom e fiel amigo! Não, não me arrependo das vinte apólices que lhe deixei (linhas 25-26), encontra-se uma eloquente defesa do clássico tema das amizades desinteressadas na literatura.

D

Vós, que o conhecestes, meus senhores, vós podeis dizer comigo que a natureza parece estar chorando a perda irreparável de um dos mais belos caracteres que têm honrado a humanidade (linhas 18-20): essa fala descreve com exatidão o desenvolvimento da personagem Brás Cubas ao longo do romance.

E

No trecho é possível que o leitor me não creia, e todavia é verdade. Vou expor-lhe sumariamente o caso. Julgue-o por si mesmo (linhas 28-29), observa-se o estabelecimento de um diálogo com o leitor, recurso muito raro na prosa machadiana.
