The woman who baked a 'poisoned' Christmas cake that killed her two sisters and a niece has been pictured for the first time.

Zeli Terezinha Silva dos Anjos, 61, from Torres, Brazil, prepared a traditional Christmas cake for a festive family meal on December 23.

However, her sisters Maida, 58, and Neuza, 65, and Neuza's daughter Tatiana, 43 all died shortly after eating the cake.

Three other family members, including Zeli herself and a 10-year-old boy, fell ill and were also hospitalised.

Now, it has emerged that traces of the toxic metal arsenic were present in the bodies of the three women killed.

Police have also announced plans to exhume the body of Zeli's husband Paolo Luiz who reportedly died in September of food poisoning.

Zeli is believed to have spoken to the police who have yet to determine whether the victims were purposely poisoned.

The 10-year-old boy, who is believed to be Tatiana's son, is thought to be in a stable condition.

Seven members of the family were eating the cake in Zeli's home on the coast of Brazil. Only one person, who has not been named, did not eat the cake.

Blood tests carried out by the doctors have also revealed arsenic in the blood of some of the victims, a potent poison the symptoms of which cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.

Officer Marcos Vinicius Veloso, who is leading the case, said there are no records of inheritance disputes or rows between family members.

It is believed Zeli ate two cake slices and was the first one to be taken to hospital after becoming severely ill - where she remains in stable condition.

She has reportedly told police she bought some the ingredients on Monday before the gathering.

Police have not yet determined whether the victims were poisoned.
