Labs reopen after student poisoned

A number of science labs at Southampton University are due to reopen today after closing when a student became ill with chemical poisoning.

Tests revealed the 25-year old PhD chemistry student had arsenic and the highly toxic metal thallium in his body.

The man is being treated at a specialist toxicology unit in Cardiff following the incident more than three weeks ago,

A police investigation is underway but officers say the chemicals are not transmittable and may not be connected with the university at all.
