Chilling CCTV footage has revealed how a lawyer greeted her ex-boyfriend's father outside his home in Brazil before she allegedly poisoned him and his mother.
The footage showed Amanda Partata getting out of a taxi and carrying shopping bags containing the cakes she allegedly poisoned before handing them to police officers Leonardo Ferreira and Luzia Alves during a breakfast at their Goiania home on December 17.
Partata, who had been dating Ferreira's son, Dr. Leonardo Ferreira Jr., for a month and a half, could be seen hugging the elder Ferreira and handing him one of the bags.
She then followed Ferreira to the residence, where she allegedly carried out her macabre plot because she refused to accept the end of the relationship with his son, civilian police investigators reported.

Partata presented Alves with an orchid and posed for a photo, which was taken by her ex-boyfriend's father.
Ferreira and Alves ate two of the cakes, while Alves' husband ate none.
On the day of the murders, Partata visited a candy store around 8 a.m. and bought grape juice, cheese cakes and four cakes, which were placed in jars.
Returning to her hotel, Partata arrived at the victims' house around 9am and stayed there until 12pm before requesting a ride-hailing taxi to her home in Itumbiara municipality.
Ferreira contacted Partata to tell her that he and his mother had fallen ill and advised her to visit a hospital, expressing concern as she had previously told the family that she was expecting a child from his son.
Ferreira and Alves were rushed to a hospital after suffering from vomiting, diarrhea and stomach pain.
Around midnight on December 18, Partata went to a hospital after learning that her ex-boyfriend's father had died.
Alves died in the early hours of December 18.
Investigators analyzed all the purchased and leftover food and found only large traces of toxins in two of the four pies, according to a forensic report released Wednesday.
The name of the toxic substance has not been released.
