38-Year-Old And Her Children Rushed To Hospital After Being ‘Poisoned’

A 38-year-old lady and her two children were brought to the hospital after being ‘poisoned’ in their house.

The woman and her two children, ages nine and thirteen, were discovered inside a property in Uckfield, East Sussex, yesterday, on Thursday, February 8.

It is believed that the mother’s and her two children’s hospital conditions are stable.

According to Sussex Police, the incident on Hunters Way is being handled as “isolated.”

A spokesman for Sussex Police said: “Emergency services responded to welfare concerns at an address in Hunters Way, Uckfield on Thursday morning (February 8).

“A 38-year-old woman and two children, aged 9 and 13, were located inside the property and taken to hospital for treatment.

“While their conditions remain serious, they are currently in a stable state.

“A woman has been arrested on suspicion of administering a noxious substance/poison to cause injury.

“We are not searching for anyone else in relation to this investigation.

“Our enquiries are ongoing and a heightened police presence is anticipated in the area at this time.

“This is being treated as an isolated incident with no threat to the wider community.”

Town councillor Dan Manvell told The Independent that the occurrence is ‘worrying’ and atypical for the area.

He said: “It is obviously something which doesn’t usually happen in Uckfield.

“Nothing more than low-level antisocial behaviour occurs here, so this is worrying.

“It looks like an isolated incident but I’m sure it is upsetting for all those involved, including the family. I hope they get better soon.”
