Hello,

hi Desi.

Hi Desi. Hi, we have some stories to get to today. Our top story. Our top story is out of the Washington Post. The

headline reads, she invited four people over for lunch.

A week later, three were dead.

Now, both of us independently saw this headline,

Australia is gripped by the mysterious deaths of three people in a suspected

poisoning case that reads like a fictional thriller. Two couples were

invited to lunch at a palatial country home in the state of Victoria one

One man remains in a hospital in critical condition

awaiting a liver transplant.

The host of the gathering, a woman in her 40s and her two children, were unharmed.
