Poisoned Waikato family's medical notes concerning, lawyer saysSupplied Shibu Kochummen, 35, his wife Subi Babu, 33, and his mother Alekutty Daniel, 62, face months of rehabilitation after they were found unresponsive on the floor of their Putaruru home on November 10. Medical notes about a mystery poisoning that plunged three family members into a coma suggest inadequate testing, the family's spokeswoman says. And nerve conduction tests as early as November 13 - three days after the trio's hospitalisation - indicated the illness wasn't botulism, the family's lawyer and spokeswoman Sue Grey said after obtaining the medical notes. Grey said she hadn't seen any food tests other than the negative botulism result from the pork dish consumed. Grey said she's still going through the family's notes but understands 1080 was an early suspected cause.
