Police in Brisbane charge a 47-year-old woman with two counts of attempted murder after alleging she exposed two boys, aged 12 and 15, to a noxious substance at a home in Mitchelton on September 24. The accused was arrested and later released from hospital before facing charges, according to multiple outlets.
Several reports say a man detected something was wrong and identified the substance inside the home, leading to police involvement. The outlets consistently describe the alleged conduct as an attempt to poison or “gas” the boys by exposing them to the substance, though details of what the substance was were not provided in the accounts provided. The case is at the charge stage and has not included any reported court outcome.
