Stunned: Nurse Peter McDougall found this blade inside a pack of Halloween sweets A nurse who purchased a bag of children's Halloween sweets from Poundland was horrified when he discovered a rusty three-inch blade hidden inside. Peter McDougall bought the packet of Witches Broomsticks from a Poundland store in Aberdeen in preparation for children trick-or-treating on Halloween. But the 28-year-old nurse, who works at Royal Cornhill Hospital in Aberdeen, couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the knife wrapped up with one of the marshmallows inside. Mr McDougall, from Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire, said: 'I had bought the sweets as part of the collection I have for when the kids come round chapping on the door at Halloween.
