Pretty Poison, Japanese Style

From Der Spiegel:
A 16-year-old Japanese schoolgirl was arrested this week for gradually poisoning her mother, who is now in a coma...

Japanese police allegedly found a Japanese translation of Anthony Holden's non-fiction book "The St. Albans Poisoner: The Life and Crimes of Graham Young" along with powdered thallium and a severed cat's head in the girl's bedroom...

Although the girl's grades and general behaviour in school didn't alert anyone, teachers did say they were impressed by her interest and knowledge of chemistry.

There is no truth to the rumor that Eihi Shiina, star of "Audition," has been signed to play her in the movie.
