Killer fish find

-

A FISH loaded with poison up to 1,200 times more deadly than cyanide has been found on a beach.

The oceanic puffer was discovered on Towan Beach in Newquay, Cornwall, by marine animal investigat­or Constance Morris, who was on a family holiday.

Rarely seen in the UK, it contains tetrodotox­in – and it is thought one fish has enough to kill 30 adult humans. Constance said: “Good job I keep marigolds in my kit.”
