The woman should be questioned. She is represented by a lawyer, said Bremer. She is suspected of mixing detergents with meals.
According to the police, the suspect is a kitchen assistant, who reported the food smelling of cleaning products in the kitchen. Presumably, she did not want to poison the children, but rather attract attention. She is no longer working in the day care center.
The institution of the daycare had reported against unknown. In two cases, a paprika cream sauce and a vegetable soup have been added with cleaning agents from the Kita. In both cases, the same kitchen assistant noticed the strangely smelling food. Children would not have eaten it.
The wearer also assumes a "wanton pollution". A police spokesman said that further investigation was going on in all directions.
