This is the original story as copied from the Finnish evening paper 'Ilta-Sanomat' website:
Virosta ostettu rommi tappoi Tampereella
Keski-ikäinen mies kuoli eilen Tampereella juotuaan Virosta tuliaisina tuomaansa myrkkyviinaa. Alkoholi oli hankittu virallisesta viinakaupasta Virosta. Kolme samasta pullosta juonutta henkilöä on sairaalahoidossa.
Myrkkyviina oli pullossa, jossa etiketissä luki "Captain Morgan Black Label Jamaican Rhum". Pullo on kirkas, mutta sisältö on vihreää.
Suomessa tällaisessa pullossa myydään tummaa rommia. Tässä tapauksessa juoma oli siis vihreää.
- Jos joku on aukaisemassa pulloa, niin on syytä pistää korkki heti kiinni, rikoskomisario Jari Kinnunen sanoo.

What it says here is:
Rhum bought from Estonia kills in Tampere, Finland
A middle-aged man died yesterday after having drunk rhum he had bought from Estonia and brought home with him. The alcohol had been acquired from a licenced liquor store in Estonia. Three others who drank from the same bottle are hospitalized.
The poisoneous liquor was in a bottle labelled as "Captain Morgan Black Label Jamaican Rhum". The bottle is see-through, but the contents are green.
In Finland, normally this brand is sold as a dark rhum. In this case the drink was green.
- If anyone plans to open a similar bottle, it is best to close the cork tight, says Criminal Chief Inspector Jari Kinnunen.

If you ever saw a bottle of green liquid that claimed to be dark Jamaican Rhum, would YOU drink it? Submitted on 08/28/2003
