The footage has since spread like a wildfire on social media, and it shows 40-year-old Amina dumping some mercury around a chess board that Umayganat Osmanova was about to … play on? I don't know chess terms, but you get the idea. ...

Unreal. It was the perfect plan, except Amina forgot about the cameras. That's Poisoning 101. Can't forget about the security cameras. They'll get you every time.

She might have made a good recruit for Vladimir Putin's assassination squad except for overlooking the security cameras. Yikes. According to Outkick, it didn't even stop Osmanova from winning her match, so that's doubly embarrassing. Maybe Sparrow school instead? 

At any rate, it looks like Putin may need to play Let's Make a Deal again ...
