A six-year-old boy has been killed after eating a lollipop coated in rat poison that had been thrown into the yard where he was playing.

Xiao Li found the sweet lying in the front yard of his house in Liuzhuang village in eastern China’s Shandong province.

He then picked it up, unwrapped it, and put it in his mouth before going out to play hide and seek with friends. He was found unconscious shortly afterwards.

His pals ran to get help and found Li’s dad Jin Hsueh, 45 who discovered his son was bleeding from his eyes, ears, nostrils and mouth and was unconscious.

He said: "they told me that Li was lying behind a bush where he had been hiding from them during a game. When I got there he was hardly breathing and I knew something terrible had happened."

Li was rushed to the nearby Jining Affiliated Medical School Hospital,A hospital spokesman said: "His internal organs had been destroyed by the poison."Doctors fought to save him for two days before little Li succumbed to the poison and died.

Tests carried out on the lollipop which the boy still had on him showed that it had been coated in TETS, a highly lethal neurotoxin found in rat poison.
