...has been found dead in her jail cell.
Deise Moura dos Anjos, 42, was found lifeless in her cell at a women's prison in Guaiba on the outskirts of the southern city of Porto Alegre this morning.
Police chiefs say they are treating the death as a suicide and sources at a regional emergency response service said she appeared to have hanged herself.
Deise was remanded in prison on January 6 on suspicion of three murders and three attempted murders.
Her mother-in-law Zeli dos Anjos had baked the cake eaten by several relatives late on December 23 and later found to have been contaminated with arsenic-laced flour.
The victims, including Zeli, took several bites and found that it had a 'spicy' flavor, as the family gathered for coffee, Police Chief Marcos Veloso told RBS TV at the time.
Zeli, 61, was hospitalised but survived.
Her teacher sister Maida Bernice Flores da Silva, 58, sibling Neuza Denize Silva Dos Anjos, 65 and Neuza's daughter Tatiana Silvia Dos Santos, 43, died within hours of eating the cake.
Tatiana's 10-year-old son Matheus, Zeli's great nephew, was also taken into intensive care and spent several days in hospital. Maida's husband Jefferson needed hospital treatment too.
Deise was protesting her innocence but police branded her an alleged 'serial killer' after her arrest.
