The drug-trial horror show:

A volunteer who escaped a disastrous medical trial unscathed after being given a placebo has described the horror effect on the other six men.

Twenty-three-year-old Raste Khan was terrified as the others “went down like dominoes”.

He told the Sun: “First they began tearing their shirts off complaining of fever, then some screamed out that their heads felt like they were going to explode.

“It was terrifying because I kept expecting it to happen to me at any moment. But I felt fine and I didn’t know why.”
