Berlin: Seven people at a university in West Germany have received medical treatment after showing symptoms of poisoning, and prosecutors have opened an investigation into suspicion of murder experiments, said the authorities on Tuesday.
Employees from the University of Engineering in Darmstadt, South Frankfurt, experience medical problems on Monday.
The police said that the milk carton and water container in one of the buildings on campus seemed to have been contaminated with harmful substances between Friday and Monday.
There is no word immediately on what substance is, but the contaminated liquid is said to have a strong odor.
The police and prosecutors said Tuesday that they had searched for other university buildings as precautions but did not find anything related to alleged poisoning.
They also say no one else is advancing with symptoms.
They said in the statement that they did everything to “identify the culprit or the culprit” and that, as far as they know, there is no longer “acute danger.” “We were surprised by the real crime that occurred at our university,” said the President of the University, Tanja Bruehl, said in a statement.
