Curry That Killed 4 Also Had Arsenic
From Times Wire Reports
Cyanide-laced curry that killed four and sickened dozens at a summer festival in central Japan last month has been found to have also contained traces of arsenic, reports said. A National Police Agency crime lab found the poison after examining uneaten curry left by those who died and the contents of their stomachs, Kyodo news agency reported. Four people, ages 10 to 65, died after eating the curry July 25 in Wakayama, a coastal city 250 miles west of Tokyo.
