And he said he had turned down the lunch invitation because he believed

she would poison him and described falling severely ill after eating food she had prepared on prior occasions a penne bolognese pasta a chicken korma curry and a vegetable curry wrap but the jury never heard any of it and then there's the question that sits at the center of everything and has no answer which is

Five intended victims.

And when they started dying, she said nothing.
