Dodgy Whiskey made in Nepal kills nine
Nepalese Market
At least nine people have died in Nepal in the past few days after drinking contaminated alcohol.
All of them had drunk alcohol which was served to them from a drum at a village market on Sunday.
There have been two other similar deaths in the capital and more than a dozen other people are ill.
Drinking the contaminated alcohol has led to headaches, vomiting, prolonged unconsciousness and death.
In the capital, the fatalities have been connected with the consumption of what seemed to be well-known local brands of rum and whisky.
Police in the south have raided some 50 home-brewing sites and arrested a man, who admitted watering down alcohol bought from a distillery.
Local accounts say lethal chemicals had been added, which imparted an accurate smell of alcohol.
The BBC get it wrong…. it couldn’t possibly be “Whisky” that killed them since it was made in Nepal and “watered down” there……
