In Saxony, Germany, police have searched the home of a 16-year-old suspected of producing the lethal toxins ricin and aconitine in a well-equipped attic laboratory. The authorities have launched an investigation under the Weapons of War Act but have yet to ascertain the teenager's motive for manufacturing these dangerous substances. The area surrounding the premises was secured by emergency services, as the 16-year-old remains at large. Ricin is known to be extremely toxic, while aconitine acts quickly, posing severe health risks.
"The 16-year-old is alleged to have manufactured and stored several ampoules of a mixture of the plant toxins ricin and aconitine in a specially equipped laboratory."
