An Australian teenage who is accused of trying to kill some neighbor boys with toilet cleaner brownies faces attempted murder charges. The Brisbane girl, 14, offered the homemade treats to a pair of brothers in an alleged attempt to kill the young men. She arrested and released on bail after being charged for attempting to pass off the toxic treats to the unnamed 12 and 13-year-old boys.
During an interview with The Courier-Mail , the mother of the intended victim noted her sons only had a few bites before realizing the brownies did not taste right.
The Australian mother had this to say during the interview:
“They only had one bite, thank goodness. I’m just glad my younger one, who is 7, didn’t get given one. You could smell it … it was very strong.”
The Australian newspaper also noted that the potentially deadly brownies were laced with both toilet and window cleaner. The two boys did not consume enough of the poisonous snacks to become seriously ill, according to the New York Daily News . Police officers have not yet released a motive in the alleged attempted murder, or released the teenage girl’s name.
The local newspaper noted that the teen girl allegedly gave the toxic brownies to the brothers as a peace offering after picking on them. The accused attempted murderer was living under around-the-clock supervision at a government-run shelter at the time of the incident. The girl’s defense attorney declined to comment on the pending litigation, but did note that the girl is doing fine and is scheduled for a hearing next month.
