Four girls aged 9 to 11 died after becoming ill at a primary school in Kampala, Uganda. Three died at home and one died in hospital; another pupil remains in hospital. Police are investigating possible poisoning, including whether oranges eaten by the children were toxic, but the cause of death has not been established.

The school said eight children had eaten oranges distributed by another pupil and that five of them became nauseous and vomited. Police are also investigating the village the oranges came from. The headteacher was taken to a police station for questioning, while some parents accused the school of failing to provide clear information.
