In Uganda, four children under the age of seven from the same family have been confirmed dead after they took Paraquat herbicide, allegedly given to them by the grandmother.
The children have been living with their grandmother in Kirangira village, Kasankala Sub County in Rakai district in the country.
According to Mr Fred Bongole who is a relative to the deceased children, the grandmother mistakenly gave out the herbicide instead of a local herb (omululuuza) which she had cooked for them.
âTheir grandmother had been used to giving them herbs because she believes they heal faster. However this time round, the local herb and the herbicide were both in empty bottles of mineral water which confused her as she failed to differentiate the two.â
