00:00Colombian woman who was on the run after allegedly killing two girls with poisoned
00:04raspberries has been found and rescued from the Thames. The businesswoman Zulma Guzman Castro
00:09has been wanted by authorities after being accused of killing two teenage girls in Colombia with
00:14raspberries laced with thallium, a poisonous metal. She has since denied the crime. A search
00:19warrant was issued by Interpol Red Notice with police believing the accused killer had fled to
00:24Brazil, Spain or the UK. But Ms Castro reportedly gave away her hiding spot when she was pictured
00:29drinking from a Buxton water bottle. The size and brand of the bottle led authorities to believe
00:34she was hiding in the UK. Police were called out on Tuesday morning to reports of a woman in distress
00:39on Battersea Bridge. She was found alive but injured in the river. Once she is well enough
00:44she will be taken into custody to appear in court.
