2 sought in Germany after witch cauldron carnival mishap
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Police in southwestern Germany say they're looking for two people last seen dressed as witches after a teenager suffered serious scalds when her legs went into a cauldron of boiling water during an annual carnival parade.
Heilbronn police spokesman Achim Kueller told the dpa news agency Monday the two suspects were on a float with a boiling cauldron of water as a prop during Saturday night's parade in nearby Eppingen.
Along the route, police say the "witches" brought an 18-year-old from the crowd aboard, and as they held her over the cauldron, her legs went in up to her knees.
