On Tuesday morning officers were searching for further contaminated substances on the university’s Lichtwiese campus, where the poisonings had taken place. “We are shocked by the apparent crime that occurred at our university,” the university’s president, Tanja Brühl, said on Tuesday. Brühl added that police investigators had informed her that the victims are likely to have been victims of a poison attack. The affected bottles were all stored in a room that was freely accessible to people on the campus. “Together with the university and investigators we now need to clarify the situation as quickly as possible,” Dorn said.
