A woman in Poland has been sentenced to six years in prison for poisoning her coworker in a calculated revenge plot. The perpetrator, identified as Małgorzata W, was caught on video spraying a toxic substance into her colleague’s tea. The victim, a 51-year-old coworker, noticed unusual changes in the taste and color of her drinks, leading to severe health issues.

The poisoner’s actions were captured on a hidden camera installed by the victim, showing Małgorzata contaminating the drinks over a six-week period. Laboratory tests confirmed the presence of cleaning products and detergents in the poisoned drinks, causing serious internal chemical burns to the victim.

The court found Małgorzata guilty of deliberately targeting her coworker in a premeditated attempt to cause harm. The victim’s concerns escalated to fear as she experienced symptoms like stomach pain, breathing difficulties, and fainting episodes. The poisoning campaign unfolded in a workplace kitchen, where tensions between the two women had been growing due to work performance issues.

Despite suspicions of another woman, Elzbieta D, being complicit in the plot, the court acquitted her of all charges due to insufficient evidence. Judges emphasized the severity of Małgorzata’s actions, which endangered the victim’s life. The poisoning incident serves as a cautionary tale of workplace conflicts taken to dangerous extremes.
