But this just in from Columbia: Poison wine said to kill priest BOGOTA (Reuters) - A Roman Catholic priest and a female companion died after drinking "poisoned" or adulterated wine in a Colombian city, a church official and local media said Friday. The case was thought to be one of at least two involving adulterated wine sent to parishes just outside the capital Bogota by anonymous donors. Father Gilberto Pulido, parish priest in Villavicencio, capital of Meta province, told the Radionet news program that local priest Jesus David Saenz and a companion, Marina de Rojas, died shortly after drinking the wine late Thursday. He said the wine was sent to the parish by an unknown donor earlier in the day, and he and everyone else thought it was an innocent gift from a parishioner in honor of the Easter holiday. Pulido said he too had tasted the wine but spat it out immediately after noticing that it had a foul taste. "I vomited it up ... In that sense I was luckier than the others," Pulido said. A similar case was reported in Sibate, a town just southwest of Bogota, where the sister of a parish priest and a church sexton were rushed to an area hospital Thursday night after drinking wine laced with wood alcohol, local radio said. In that incident too, the wine was sent to the parish by an unidentified donor. Colombian news reports said the person sending the wine might be linked to some sort of Satanic sect. Police were unavailable for comment on the cases but deaths from adulterated alcohol are not uncommon in Colombia, especially during holidays when liquor consumption rises dramatically. dailynews.yahoo.com
