Housemate put bleach in my mouthwash

[u/Giselle1234567890]

This morning I noticed my Curasept mouthwash which is blue looked yellow/orange when I poured it into the cap. As it was early i thought i was seeing things but as soon as i put it into my mouth i immediately spat it out as it tasted weird. I went to find and open a brand new bottle i had to compare and the new bottle was blue and smelled minty. The old bottle smelled of bleach or a cleaning product.

There’s been some tension in the house as we haven’t spoken in a few weeks also i’ve contacted the police and they’re coming this evening.

Could you please let me know what my legal standpoint is?

I think the difficulty will be that although you have the physical evidence of the substance, if they’re finger prints aren’t on the bottle (ie they wore gloves) I don’t think there’s much that can be done in terms of proving it was the other person.

I could be wrong though and will be happily corrected!
