Chinese authorities recently arrested a female school caretaker who allegedly poisoned kindergarten students in revenge for not getting a pay rise.

近日，中国警方抓捕了一名女性保育员，她被指控因不涨工资而报复幼儿园学生。

The suspect, who works at Hongri Kindergarten in the city of Dongguan in China, reportedly added schizophrenia medication to the students' meals.

这名犯罪嫌疑人在中国东莞市的红日幼儿园工作。据报道，当时她在孩子们的饭中投放了一种治疗精神分裂的药物。

Identified only by her surname Yang in the reports, the caretaker was responsible for cleaning at the school and serving meals to the students.

报道中只透露该嫌疑人姓杨，是一位在学校内主要负责清扫工作、并给孩子们送餐的保育员。

On March 15, ten kindergarteners who had lunches served by the suspect were immediately sent to a hospital by their parents after exhibiting signs of dizziness at home.

在3月15日当天，有10位孩子在家出现了眩晕等情况，随后家长便立即将孩子送到了医院。这些孩子都曾在幼儿园内吃过杨某送来的饭。

The school's surveillance footage caught the caretaker adding unknown substances to the children's meals. An investigation would later yield a bottle of a schizophrenia medication called clozapine, which was found at the caretaker's home.

据幼儿园的监控录像显示，这名保育员很可能向孩子的食物中添加了某种有毒物质。警方在调查时在其家中发现一瓶叫做氯氮平的治疗精神分裂症状的药物。

According to the People's Daily, her request for an increase in wages was earlier denied by the school.

据《人民日报》报道，杨某之前曾一直要求给其涨工资，但校方予以拒绝。

Upon questioning, she confessed that she used her own antipsychotic medication to poison the students for revenge.
