Office Poisoning Drama Unveiled by Hidden Camera

In Poland, a 56-year-old cleaner at Trojka radio station in Warsaw was arrested after months of secretly poisoning her manager due to jealousy and resentment over her superior's senior position.

The manager's suspicion arose after she began feeling ill only at work, following her morning coffee. "I was sure the stomach pains were from stress," said the 51-year-old manager, completely unaware she was being intentionally poisoned.

The cleaner would add sprays and toxic substances to the manager's coffee whenever she was on break or away from her desk.

Recently, when her symptoms worsened, she went for a check-up at the hospital, where doctors informed her of internal damage caused by toxins. "They asked if I’d accidentally ingested something like cleaning agents, and then I remembered the odd taste in my morning coffee," said the manager, who wished to remain anonymous. Realizing she might have been poisoned, perhaps by the cleaner, with whom she had conflicts due to hierarchical differences, she noted, "It angered her that I was the manager and she was just a cleaner, and she's been bitter in her role for years. This spilled over into arguments with the other cleaners and me at times, but I never thought she'd go this far. It's horrible."

The manager filed a complaint with local police, but lacking evidence, the case was closed until this week when she reviewed footage from a hidden camera she’d installed in her office. The video showed the cleaner spraying cleaning agents into both the manager's tea cup and water bottle and swiftly leaving. In daily recordings, the cleaner repeated this dangerous act almost every day, adding harmful substances to her colleague's coffee that "could have killed her if consumed in large quantities," according to Lieutenant Jakub Pieczeniak.

The cleaner has been arrested and is in a three-month custody pending sentencing, which could result in up to 20 years in prison.
