Five children died after an inflated, bouncy castle in their school was blown off into the air by strong winds in Australia’s Tasmania on Thursday. The children were thrown from a height of about 10 metres (33 feet) after the large inflatable castle they were playing in lifted off the ground, the police said, quoting eye-witnesses.

Those who died are three 12-year-old boys and two girls, aged 11 and 12. The accident occurred on Thursday morning, on an otherwise sunny day, during the end-of-year celebration at the school.

It was one of Australia’s deadliest accidents involving an amusement ride.

Three more children are in critical condition and in hospital in Tasmania capital Hobart and one was recovering at home, Tasmania police chief Darren Hine. Some 40 students were taking part in the celebrations.

Apart from the bouncy castle, several inflatable zorb balls too were thrown into the air from strong winds.

Authorities said on Friday they were investigating whether the castle was tethered to the ground before a gust of wind blew it into the air.

Tasmanian Premier Peter Gutwein said there had been an “outpouring of grief” as well as support from Tasmania, the rest of Australia and from across the world.

The children were given first-aid at the school premises before rescue helicopters and ambulances arrived.

Police officers were reportedly seen in tears, and blue sheeting shielding what officers described as “a very confronting and distressing scene”.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
