India school meal deaths: headteacher and husband charged with murder

Meena Devi and her husband will go on trial over deaths of 23 children who ate pesticide-contaminated lunches

The trial of Meena Devi and her husband was expected to begin soon, said police officer Varun Kumar Sinha. They were arrested and could face the death penalty if convicted.

Investigating police officer Raj Kaushal said the headteacher's husband, politician Arjun Rai, stored pesticide at the school that was for use at his farm. The charge sheet filed in a court in Bihar state on Sunday said the chef cooked with it by mistake.
