Austria: Drug dealers 'fed rat poison to teenagers to test hallucinogenic effects' - Ananova Alerting

Austrian police say a group of drug dealers tricked a teenage
couple to take rat poison so they could study its hallucinogenic
effects.

The bodies of the 16-year-old boy and his 13-year-old girlfriend
were found near Perg in Upper Austria.

The three men have been charged with murder, a police spokesman
said.

Police say the men watched the pair die in agony.

Pathologists said the couple had taken a "massive" amount of
the rat poison Strychnine and would have suffered severe
muscle cramps before they died.

Strychnine is made from plants in the nightshade family and is
highly toxic.

The men were arrested after a tip-off from a heroin addict who
said he'd bought pills from them and nearly died.

A house search found the Strychnine hidden in a box behind the
a washing machine.

Perg mayor Hermann Peham said: "This killing has shocked the
entire community."
