Poison in tea murder case reveals strychnine evidence
In a coroner inquiry at Kilferkahn, Amy Bamford and Jessie Bamford face questions over a March death believed caused by poison in tea. Witnesses describe a bottle of strychnine, powder crystals, and a family struggle with tainted tea and an unknown hand. Debates center on how poison entered the cup, whether tea was sweetened with sugar laced with poison, and if Jessie or another family member could be involved as the investigation continues.
