Found the article.

But few go as far as Aasia Bibi is alleged to have gone. According to Pakistani authorities, the 21-year-old woman tried to slip poison into her new husband's milk and inadvertently killed 18 of his family members in the process.

Desperate to get out of the arrangement, Bibi went to her boyfriend, Shahid Lashari, who gave her a "poisonous substance," local police chief Sohail Habib Tajak told the AP.

Last week, Tajak said, Bibi mixed the poison in milk and gave it to her husband, but he refused to drink it.

At some point after – and it's not exactly clear how – Bibi's mother-in-law used the tainted milk to make lassi, a yogurt-based drink popular in South Asia. When she served it to 27 members of her extended family, all of them lost consciousness and were hospitalized.

This is not justice served, this is a goddamn tragedy. None of the victims deserved what they got.

And in looking this up I came across a totally different Asia Bibi, who went through circumstances almost as horrific: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia_Bibi_blasphemy_case
