UK Man Arrested on Suspicion of Poisoning Children at Summer Camp
A 76-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of administering poison after children fell ill at a summer camp in Leicestershire, England, with eight children initially hospitalized but since discharged. Police were alerted by a third party, leading to the dispatch of officers and ambulance crews to the scene near Stathern. A triage center was established to assess the children, and parents or guardians were contacted. The man remains in custody as Detective Inspector Neil Holden stated the investigation is complex and ongoing, with officers still at the scene and updates promised to parents and the public.
