Ambulance Victoria said it was investigating the bungle with the two paramedics involved traumatised by their mistake.

Mother poisons herself and 3 children

CHINA: A woman who was tired of life and could not cope up with the day-to-day pressures, consumed pesticide. She even fed a concoction made of sugar and pesticide to her 3 children before poisoning herself, reports China Daily.

The children are suffering from kidney failure and all four of them are in a critical condition, hospital sources told the daily.

Two daughter aged five and seven and an 8-month-old son used to live with their mother while the father worked as a carpenter in a different province in China.

The father told the daily that his wife was a good mother. She would spend everything on her doting children. He believed his wife was suffering from depression and hence took the fatal decision.

The four victims of poisoning are unable to eat anything since their throat is badly burnt after consuming the pesticide.

Help is pouring in from all quarters for the family.

 

It's raining dead pigeons

SINGAPORE: A family that fell in love with a dream house and bought it recently, received a rude awakening when hundreds of dead pigeons fell out of a false ceiling.

The couple noticed a foul smell in the flat when they had gone to check it out before buying it but they did not question the seller since it would have been rude to do so.

Upon buying the flat, the new owners decided to renovate it to their taste.

One day, while the renovators were checking the electrical lines in one of the toilets, hundreds of dead birds in different stages of death, fell out of the false ceiling.

The owners were horrified at the sight.  "There were so many of them. They covered almost the whole floor of the 4 sq m toilet," the owner told The New Paper.
