FATHER OF DEAD NEWBORN HACKS DOCTOR TO DEATH
BEIJING: A paediatrician has been hacked to death by the machete-wielding father of a newborn that died at a hospital in eastern China, according to local media reports on Wednesday. Laigang Hospital surgeons battled for five hours to save the 34-year-old doctor, who had sustained 12 blows to the head and three to the body, Beijing News reported. Chen Jianli, the suspected killer, reportedly felt aggrieved at the hospital’s treatment of his daughter, who died of complications related to pneumonia two days after her birth. – dpa
