A total of 24 children died, and 20 are still in hospital after a teacher in a remote Andean village near Cuzco mistakenly mixed poison intended to kill stray dogs with pupils’ breakfast. A couple in the village of Huasac had left the bag of cereal laced with insecticide outside their house and a child took it to the school thinking it was a breakfast ingredient. The teacher has been detained by police, as have the couple. Photograph: Reuters
