A 38-year-old woman has been charged with two counts of attempted murder after two children were victims of a suspected poisoning. Emergency services were called to a property in Hunters Way, Uckfield, East Sussex, on Thursday, where the two children, aged nine and 13, and a woman aged 38 were taken to hospital for treatment. Jilumol George, 38, of Hunters Way, appeared at Brighton magistrates court on Saturday charged with two counts of attempted murder and two counts of administering poison with intent to endanger life or inflict grievous bodily harm. She was remanded in custody to appear at a crown court on 8 March. Ch Insp Mark Evans, of Sussex police, said: “I want to reassure the local community that this is an isolated incident and we are not looking for anyone else in connection with it. “This is a fast-moving investigation and there will be an increased police presence in the area over the next few days. However, I am satisfied there is no wider risk to the public.”
