A woman in Thailand has been sentenced to death in the first of a string of cases in which she is accused of murdering 14 friends with cyanide.
The court in Bangkok found the 36-year-old guilty of putting poison in a wealthy friend's food and drink while they were on a trip last year.
Relatives of the friend refused to accept she died of natural causes and an autopsy found traces of cyanide in her body.
Police arrested the woman and uncovered other similar deaths going back to 2015.
One person she allegedly targeted survived.
Police say the woman had a gambling addiction and targeted friends she owed money to, then stole their jewellery and valuables.
